My footprints, weave in out Between good and bad, faith and doubt More thin than thick, more lows than highs But do tale a story and so do I About a down and out, nine on the count Before they rang that bell and I loose that bout But my rise from the ashes ain't got no limit From a dead man walking to a walking man livin Have you ever been a stray dog Callin' through the alley Ever chase a light in the shadow of the valley On hands and knees beggan' save me please Is anybody listening? Have you ever been a mile past going gets tough? Six feet under, but you push dirt up Till some breaks through get you back up kick'n From a dead man walking to a walkin man livin' I've lost my way, misplaced my soul Seen dead ends and still paid the toll To see what kind of reckless high I could get myself into I was a flat rind with a heartbeat That man in the mirror was a shell of me And it was harder for me than God to forgive it A dead man walking now a walkin man livin' Have you ever been a stray dog Callin' through the alley Ever chase a light in the shadow of a valley On hands and knees beggan' save me please Is anybody listening? Have you ever been a mile past going gets tough? Six feet under but you push dirt up Till some breaks through get you back up kick'n From a dead man walking to a walkin man livin' Walkin man livin' I had nothing, to do with this But that's the crazy thing about forgiveness Yeah, it got you to the angels Aye boys go get hem Turn the dead man walking to a walkin man - livin! Have you ever been a stray dog Callin' through the alley Ever chase a light in the shadow of the valley On hands and knees, beggan' save me please Is anybody listening? Have you ever been a mile past going gets tough? Six feet under but you push dirt up Till some breaks through get you back up kick'n From a dead man walking to a walkin man livin'! I was a dead man walking but now I'm a walkin' man livin' I'm a walking man livin'! From a dead man walking to a walkin man livin'
