Joe Mansman and the Midnight Revival Band - Dead As It Gets

I've been told i'm living on a fix
A dead man marked as dead as it gets
Those twilight girls been' singin' my songs
To the Coyotes outside eating my flesh
I play a lone hand and take what i can get
My wager is blood, vice, and cigarettes
The end of this gallow's where i find rest
At the end of this iron's where i make my bed

I said it once and i'll say it again, darling i'm dead and as dead as it gets

I've been told to keep it in line
I'll take what's yours and kill what's mine
Lord God knows i lament my ways
But i don't think he remembers my name

I said it once and i'll say it again, darling i'm dead and as dead as it gets

I've been told i'm sure as a gun
A restless man, a graceless son
By all good rights no easy sight
Been' a nicotine hellraiser all of my life
Never did get it right

I said it once and i'll say it again, darling i'm dead and as dead as it gets
