loudon wainwright iii - dead man lyrics

Loading...

got a dead man’s rod and a dead man’s reel
dead man’s tuxedo with a lived in feel
at a dead man’s desk in a dead man’s chair
no, i ain’t dead yet, but i’m gettin’ there

from a dead man’s closet i got a dead man’s belt
a pair of bedroom slippers – worn out was how they felt
and an old tweed jacket with patched elbows
dress rehearsal in a dead man’s clothes

yeah, i walked a mile in a dead man’s shoes
paid off a dead man’s debts and all his union dues
slept with a dead man’s widow, took in a dead man’s kid
whatever i could was all i did

i wore a dead man’s pants with a dead man’s shirt
i tried it all on – h-ll, it couldn’t hurt
clothes make the man, so it’s been said
but a man sports a shroud when he’s buried and he’s dead

i tried a dead man’s hat on and it hurt my head
replayed an outgoing message, the last words he said
i got a dead man’s watch, ain’t no big crime
’cause i ain’t dead yet – i got a little more time

i read a dead man’s will, i cashed a dead man’s check
tied a dead man’s necktie around my neck
i wrecked a dead man’s car, i sank a dead man’s boat
i said a dead man’s prayer another dead man wrote

i played a dead man’s guitar, i sang a dead man’s song
i guess you’re all startin’ to wonder how long will this go on?
well it’s almost over, when it’s all done and said
i’ll sleep, dream, and die in a dead man’s bed
