Lynyrd Skynyrd – Dead Man Walkin' lyrics

Mmmmmmmm

Ha ha ha

Let me tell ya a story

Outside of Macon, off a country road
Justice was forsaken
when they let the wrong man go
Johnny Law was shady
First one on the scene
They called it murder
in the first degree

Dead man walkin'
Walkin' down the hall
Judge says guilty
but still he's standing tall
Dead man walkin'
they say broke the law
Taking the life of another man
Who done his daughter wrong

Light 'em up
Lay 'em down
Take 'em out
But there's more of us around
When wrong is right and right is wrong
Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight

Walk on
Walk on
Walk on

(Whistle)

Oooooohhh

If I asked you a question
would you tell the truth
Would you pull the trigger
if you was standin' in his shoes

Dead man walkin'
I know what I'd do
If someone hurt my baby
I'd be walkin' too

Light 'em up
Oh lay 'em down
Take 'em out
But there's more of us around
When right is wrong and wrong is right
Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight

Walk on
You gotta walk on baby
Walk on
Ohhh
You gotta walk on baby
Walk on

Ohhhhhh

Yeah

So if I asked you that question
would you tell the truth

Dead Man Walkin'

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
