In the Badlands long ago There's a story often told Of a wanted man they thought they'd left to hang Then the stranger passing through Made a deal and cut him loose Could have left him for dead But this is what he said
Come on, ride with me Let's blaze a trail of glory Set our spirits free Live and die with me You got nothing left to lose When you stand in a dead man's shoes Dead man's shoes
A desperado and a wanted man Their reputation spread across the land Many good men tried and failed But no one ever lived to tell the tale Now they're dead and gone But the legend still lives on
Come on, ride with me Let's blaze a trail of glory Set our spirits free Live and die with me You got nothing left to lose When you stand in a dead man's shoes Dead man's shoes
Oh, yeah, yeah Dead man's shoes
Come on, ride with me Let's blaze a trail of glory Set our spirits free Live and die with me 'Cos you got nothing left to lose Nothing left to lose
Come on, ride with me Let's blaze a trail of glory Set our spirits free Live and die with me You got nothing left to lose When you stand in a dead man's shoes Dead man's shoes
