"Dead Man Walkin'" lyrics

I was past the point of no return
Had a one-way ticket to a crash and burn
Went down too many dead-end roads
Thought that was how love always goes
But all of a sudden you decide to drop in
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'

All the pretty girls in my hometown
Never looked at me like you do right now
Scared to put my heart out on my sleeve
After things went south in New Orleans
I lost my way out East of Austin
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'

I was sure to be a goner
Just trying to keep my head above the water
You're heaven sent, and I'm so amazed
'Cause I'm sure thankful for you, babe
I had one foot steppin' towards an early coffin
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'

Couldn't ride my train 'cause it got off track
Couldn't find a way when there was no way back
My engines were running but my tank was low
My arms were open but my heart was closed
I was full steam crazy with no way of stopping
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'

I was sure to be a goner
Just trying to keep my head above the water
You're heaven sent, and I'm so amazed
'Cause I'm sure thankful for you, babe
I had one foot steppin' towards an early coffin
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'

Dead man walkin'
Dead man walkin'
I was a dead man walkin'
I had one foot steppin' towards an early coffin
Then you brought a little life to a dead man walkin'
