Deadman's Isle - The Dead South

Well I’ve slept out on these streets before

And I’ve drowned myself in every bar

But not like I did with you

Now I’ve got one more night of tellin' lies

I hope they never televise

The things that I used to do

And now I’m on the run again

For the dumbest thing that I ever did

And I don’t know what I should do

You said «You can hardly see you won’t get far»

So I let the dog drive the car

And hoped that I’d make it through

And I did

But I might be goin' away for a while

I might be goin' away for a while

They might be shipping me away to Deadman’s Isle

And if I can’t find a way to win this dreadful trial

I’ll be goin' away for a while

I’ve practiced stuff and stumbling around

But that night really knocked me down

Now I don’t know what to do

And now that dog went off but I can’t blame him

Gotta get done under this mess I’m in

I won’t be goin' home too soon

I might be goin' away for a while

I might be goin' away for a while

They might be shipping me away to Deadman’s Isle

And if I can’t find a way to win this dreadful trial

I’ll be goin' away for a while

Well I never should’ve let that dog drive

I never should’ve let him in

I never should’ve drunk that last rye

I never should’ve drunk that gin

Now I’ve got one more night stuck inside of a police station

And I don’t think I’ll see that dog again

I’ve got one more night of seein' stars

As they put my ass behind the bars

I guess they found out where I’ve been

And now I’m goin' away for a while

And now I’m goin' away for a while

I guess they’re shipping me away to Deadman’s Isle

Now I’ve got one more night of tellin' lies

I hope they never televise

This one last night with crooked eyes

Let’s light this city up tonight

Cause I’m goin' away

I’m goin' away

I’m goin' away for a while
