Already Dead
Josh Meloy
A train derailed on a cold December night
I headed for the hills, just trying to survive
A lifetime in the pen, I knew I'd never last
Through the night I was moving, and I was moving fast
Made it 18 miles, and I changed this orange outfit
Planned my revenge, for the crime that I didn't commit
The sheriff planted that gun, in the cloth beneath my bed
Now I'm on a hunt, a hunt for his head
Oh-oh-oh
You better find a place to hide
Oh-oh-oh
Cause I'm coming for your life
Oh-oh-oh
That's cause blood will be shed
Long before I end your life
You're gonna wish you were already dead
Headed back to town, the first time since the crash
Cut off my hair, and I scraped up a little cash
Found out where he lived, and I let myself inside
Sitting in his chair, waiting on him to arrive
His eyes lit up when he walked through the door
Bullet to the leg, he begged me to do no more
I said sure this is just the start
Cause you know what you did
Laid down my gun, let the games begin
Took me a while to find out where you live
Cops are coming, so I guess I'll make it quick
I'm sure you don't know me, but I have heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my loraine
See the sheriff you murdered, well you got the wrong guy
I planted that gun, and I planted that lie
I pulled the strings, when I heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my loraine
When I heard the train derailed, I hoped you were in hell
But when the sheriff disappeared, that's what led me here
Took me a while to find out where you live
The cops are coming, so I guess I'll make it quick
I know you don't know me, but I have heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my loraine
