Ron Hawkins - Deadman lyrics

The phone's too quiet and the bed's too wide Your friends deny it, they're all on your side Now I can't dig a hole deep enough to hide I've been a dead man since you took that ride My car's dead and my clothes fit wrong My day's are restless and the night's so long I don't see movies and I can't hear songs 'Cause I've been a dead man since you've been gone I've been a dead man A dead man talkin' about love is like a prisoner talkin' about the free You've been talkin' about love, but you ain't been talkin' about me No you ain't been talkin' about me I do all my swimming at the Rose and Crown 'Cause it takes a lot of bad whiskey to drown And a thousand women couldn't anchor me now I've been a dead man since you left this town A dead man talkin' about love is like a soldier talkin' about peace You keep talkin' about love, but that name ain't familiar to me No his name ain't familiar to me I can rest peaceful I can lay my head down As long as I'm sure, my sweet, you're safe and sound Now I can quit being a ghost haunting this town It's o.k. to be the dead man now
