I just want to preface this by saying, this song means the absolute world to me! This is THE song that I always wanted to write and that will forever be my favorite.
Deadman is in the simplest form a breakup song. In the complex form, it’s a story. And the story goes like this; one day I finally had enough. I was tired of being pushed around and I wanted out. And what way is more western than sending this guy to his grave?
This song is for anyone going through any type of negative relationship that needs that extra push to get out. You have the power to make your own choices, don’t ever let anyone take that from you. I hope this song gives you the strength to make the tough choices. And for everyone else, I hope you enjoy the energy of this song. I love telling stories, and this is chapter one.
I can feel a storm comin’
From the way you say my name
I feel it’s time for us to part our ways
Fire in his eyes tells me no
But the burning in my heart
Says I’m leaving tonight
Something bout those devil eyes
Makes your spirit come to life
Sell your soul for just a grin
Throw all caution to the wind
Whisper lies to your prey
Sing your song so all might say
You’re a deadman walkin’
Can’t sweet talk your way out from underground
The gallows call so sweetly
When the devil’s on his way
While the shovels of your coven dig your grave
Time has come, trials up
Eerie night cries deeply
It’s time to meet your maker
Here lies the one who lost his life for the sake of
Love and lies all in disguise
Rest in pieces, you took my heart to your grave
