Dead Man's Shoes - original song by Bear Ryan

lyrics

I don't keep
A pistol on the shelf
Know full-well
I'd use it on myself

I don't work
A steady job
What's the point
of robbing Peter
Just to pay Paul

I got a man
who would marry me
Guess being happy
Seems too easy

Got a deaf hog dog
And the bad luck blues
Grandad went to funerals
Just to get the shoes
Grandad went to funerals
Just to get the shoes

If I were a Christian
made in his image
He's got red hair, green eyes
And demon's inside

If I were a Christian
with this sinner's disposition
I know I ain't
Getting into Heaven

In my backyard,
there's a murder of crows
I understand what they say
But no one else knows

Momma always knew
That I was gifted
Preacher said I got demons
Need to be lifted

Nothing I fear
More than God fearing men
Take a dead man's shoes
And sell them
Take a dead man's shoes
And sell them

f I were a Christian
made in his image
He's got red hair, green eyes
And demon's inside

If I were a Christian
with this sinner's disposition
I know I ain't
Getting into Heaven

I don't keep a pistol
on the shelf
Know full-well
I'd use it on myself

I don't need
no middle man
Talk to God, directly
Every chance that I can
