Dead Man’s Isle Songtext
von The Dead South

Well, I′ve slept out
On these streets before
And I've drowned myself
In every bar
But not like I did with you
Now I′ve got one more night of tellin' lies
I hope they never televise
The things that I used to do

And now I'm on the run again for the dumbest thing that I ever did
And I don′t know what I should do
You said, "You can hardly see you
Won′t get far"
So I let the dog drive the car
And hoped that I'd make it through
And I did but I might be


Goin′ away for a while
I might be goin' away for a while
They might be shipping′ me away to Deadman's Isle
And if I can′t find a way to win this dreadful trial
I'll be goin' away for a while

Oh, I′ve practiced stuff and stumbling around
But that night I really knocked me down
And know I don′t know what to do
And now that dog run off
But I can't blame him
Gotta get done
Under this mess I′m in I won't be comin′ home to soon

Whoa, I know I might be goin' away for a while
I might be goin′ away for a while
They might be shipping me away to Deadman's Isle
And if I can't find a way to win this dreadful trial
I′ll be goin′ away for a while

Well, I never should've let that dog drive
I never should′ve let him in
I never should've drunk that last ride
I never should′ve drunk that gin
And now I've got one more night stuck inside of a police station
And I don′t think I'll see that dog again


I've got one more night
I′m seein′ stars
Slip on my stripes behind the bars
I guess they found out where I've been

And now I′m goin' away for a while
And now I′m goin' away for a while
I guess they′re shipping me away to Deadman's Isle
Now I've got one more night of tellin′ lies
I hope they never televise this one last night with crooked eyes
Let′s light this city up tonight

'Cause I′m goin' away
I′m goin' away
I′m goin' away for a while
