Deadman's Isle

The Dead South

5

Well, I′ve slept out

On these streets before

And I've drowned myselfIn 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

Oh, I′ve practiced stuff and stumbling around

But that night I really knocked me down

And know I don′t know what to do

And now that dog run off

But I can't blame him

Gotta get done

Under this mess I′m in I won't be comin′ home to soon

Whoa, I know 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 ride

I never should′ve drunk that gin

And 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

I′m seein′ stars

Slip on my stripes 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
