Standing at the burning house - Memories goin' round
Of what he's done and what should be - Feels like fallin' 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 - While 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's 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
Until the time has come
Had to carry on
Until the time has come
Shadows of the past - It seems like a Deadman walkin'
