Текст песни: Deadwood + перевод

I’m dead, I ain’t got no roots

The toes are pokin' through ma boots

I’m deadwood.

But you can’t say that I’ve fallen,

No, ma trunks still a tall 'un.

I’m deadwood.

Lotsa things crawlin' through me.

The sins, they still choke me

Like the ropes wrapped ‘round a cottonwood tree.

I’m deadwood.

Moss grows on my teeth

And the tears and sweat,

they stick to my cheeks

As thick as sap, clear as dew,

I’m deadwood.

The crack falters my stance.

I’m dried out and now I don’t need me

no chances.

I’m already deadwood.

I’m crooked as the Good Lord’s book.

I asked for mercy, that don’t come to fools

He gave me one look, shook His head

Now I’m deadwood.

I await the day

when the wind no longer makes me sway

but fall down to my knees

and I’ll know what it means

to really plead for Mercy

And I’ll rot like deadwood.

Deadwood.

Deadwood.

But you need a scapegoat like me.

Yeh, this town, it needs it’s enemy.

Feast your eyes on this sorry pack of lies.

Watch yourself.

Watch where this deadwood lies.

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.

I am the town scapegoat and enemy.

I am the town scapegoat and enemy.

See I am the town scapegoat and enemy.
