Dead Run Lyrics - Singles - Sixteen Horsepower

The devil's brand is on my bones 

An' from inside the holy ghost groans 

Sure as shootin' the undertaker knows 

He lays the headstones in endless rows 

One an' all we croak like a raven 

It's the dead an' the dyin' we're cravin' 

One an' all, follow the man tall 

Hear his voice an' drop to a dead crawl, yeah 

Hey boy, look straight at the sun 

To the center you make a dead run 

You're gonna halfta cut off both my hands 

I got pride as big as Dixie Land 

I wanna sit where the velvet is red yes an' 

Where can I lay this apple core? 

I wanna drink of the blood that was shed girl 

I can't breathe anymore 

Ya that's right she's waltzin' out the door 

To dandy lions waitin' 

Ya that's right and she wants more 

She's my lady in waitin' 

One an' all we croak like a raven 

It's the dead an' the dyin' we're cravin' 

One an' all, follow the man tall 

Hear his voice an' drop to a dead crawl, yeah
