Dead Man Walkin' Lyrics - Vicious Cycle - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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 standin' tall 

Dead man walkin' they say he broke the law 

Takin' the life of another man who done his daughter wrong 

[Chorus] 

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 [Repeat: x3] 

If I ask you a question, would you tell the truth 

Would you pull the trigger if you were standin' in his shoes 

Dead man walkin' I know what I'd do 

If someone hurt my baby I'd be walkin' too 

[Chorus] 

Yeah, 

So if I ask you that question, would you tell the truth? 

Dead man walkin'
