Deadwood Lyrics - Singles - O Fisher

I'm dead, I ain't got no roots 

The toes are pokin' through ma boots 

I'm deadwood. 

But you can't say that I've fallen, 

No, ma trunks still a tall 'un. 

I'm deadwood. 

Lotsa things crawlin' through me. 

The sins, they still choke me 

Like the ropes wrapped 'round a cottonwood tree. 

I'm deadwood. 

Moss grows on my teeth 

And the tears and sweat, 

they stick to my cheeks 

As thick as sap, clear as dew, 

I'm deadwood. 

The crack falters my stance. 

I'm dried out and now I don't need me 

no chances. 

I'm already deadwood. 

I'm crooked as the Good Lord's book. 

I asked for mercy, that don't come to fools 

He gave me one look, shook His head 

Now I'm deadwood. 

I await the day 

when the wind no longer makes me sway 

but fall down to my knees 

and I'll know what it means 

to really plead for Mercy 

And I'll rot like deadwood. 

Deadwood. 

Deadwood. 

But you need a scapegoat like me. 

Yeh, this town, it needs it's enemy. 

Feast your eyes on this sorry pack of lies. 

Watch yourself. 

Watch where this deadwood lies. 

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy. 

I am the town scapegoat and enemy. 

I am the town scapegoat and enemy. 

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
