Deadman Songtext
von Ron Hawkins

The phone′s too quiet and the bed's too wide
Your friends deny it, they′re all on your side
Now I can't dig a hole deep enough to hide
I've been a dead man since you took that ride

My car′s dead and my clothes fit wrong
My day′s are restless and the night's so long
I don′t see movies and I can't hear songs
′Cause I've been a dead man since you′ve been gone
I've been a dead man


A dead man talkin' about love is
Like a prisoner talkin′ about the free
You′ve been talkin' about love, but you ain′t been talkin' about me
No you ain′t been talkin' about me

I do all my swimming at the Rose and Crown
′Cause it takes a lot of bad whiskey to drown
And a thousand women couldn't anchor me now
I've been a dead man since you left this town

A dead man talkin′ about love is like a soldier talkin′ about peace
You keep talkin' about love, but that name ain′t familiar to me
No his name ain't familiar to me

I can rest peaceful I can lay my head down
As long as I′m sure, my sweet, you're safe and sound
Now I can quit being a ghost haunting this town
It′s o.k. to be the dead man now
