Dead and Gone Lyrics

Six days of runnin'
I've been trying to make it home
And they pursue me till they get back what I stole
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
I know they're closin' in
I feel them close behind
I just can't shake 'em,
It's as if they knew my mind
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone

(Instrumental break)

I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone

I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone
(Keyboard Instrumental break)

I fell in this hole
Nothing but darkness there
I lost all control believing I'd die there
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost

I just couldn't breath
The air was too thin up there
I wanted to leave but nobody seemed to care
Then you came into my life
Brought me hope so I could see my way
And now my life's changed in so many ways
I've been fooling myself, thinking that I.....could make it all by myself
That's living a lie
Then you came into my life
Picked me up when I thought I was lost
And now I'll keep you, no matter what the cost
(Instrumental break)

I won't make it home
I've already been shown
I won't see another day or it's gone

I'm pushin' hard 'cause I'm so afraid of dyin'
I've got to make it home to see her one more time
Mistakes I've made will follow me home
They won't be paid till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm dead and gone
Till I'm ...............dead and gone
