Outside of Macon, off the country road

Justice was forsaken when they let the wrong man go

Johnny Law was shady, first one on the scene

They call it murder in the first degree

dead man walking, walking down the hall

judge says guilty, but still hes standing tall

for taking the life of another man who done his daughter wrong...

if i asked you a question, would you tell the truth?

would you pull the trigger, if you were standing in his shoes?

dead man walking, i know what id do. if someone hurt my baby, id be walking too.

how about you?
