Standing at the burning house Memories going round Of what he has done and what should be Feels like falling down Emotions keep on running wild While loosing all around Life seems like a tragedy Lost what he had found Packed up his belongings Saddled up his horse Left this town in agony Left with this remorse A gunman on his way to hell The sun is going down Has to do what must be done Deadman on the run Until the time has come Had to carry on Always on the run Shadows of the past It seems like a Deadman walkin' His loneliness is more than pain Drying out his heart Former leader of the pack Looking for a start He used to work hard every day Rugged and handsome pal Salvation, it has crossed his way With the one so hard to find Time for joy has been so short And good has changed to bad Beloved wife died in a year And took with her his lad He don't know what he's fighting for Glory and for fame His past is buried in Lamar The whole world is to blame Until the time has come Had to carry on Always on the run Shadows of the past It seems like a Deadman All his life, all his pride The bleeding never ends All the shadows of the dead Will get him now at last He looks for reasons in the planes Trouble is all he found Just a man of circumstance Gets back up the ground The hangman has its bloody rope Tied around his neck The reaper is gonna have to wait Your number is not up yet Until the time has come Had to carry on Until the time has come Shadows of the dead Well, it seems like a Deadman walkin'
