Let me tell you a story      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      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, walk on, walk on      If I ask you a question, would you tell the truth?   Would you pull the triger 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      Light 'em up, oh lay 'em down   Take 'em out but there's more of us around   When right is wrong and wrong is right   Oh there's a dead man walkin' tonight   Walk on, you gotta walk on baby   Walk on, oh you gotta walk on baby, walk on      Yeah   So if I ask you that question, would you tell the truth?   Dead man walkin'
