Already Dead Lyrics by Josh Meloy

Already Dead (single)

2022

[Verse 1]
A train derailed on a cold December night
I headed for the hills, just trying to survive
A lifetime in the pen, I knew I'd never last
Through the night i was moving, and I was moving fast
Made it 18 miles, and I changed this orange outfit
Planned my revenge, for the crime that I didn't commit
The Sheriff planted that gun, in the cloth beneath my bed
Now I'm on a hunt, a hunt for his head
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
You better find a place to hide
Oh-oh-oh
Cause I'm coming for your life
Oh-oh-oh
That's cause blood will be shed
Long before I end your life
You're gonna wish you were already dead
[Verse 2]
Headed back to town, the first time since the crash
Cut off my hair, and I scraped up a little cash
Found out where he lived, and I let myself inside
Sitting in his chair, waiting on him to arrive
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
You better find a place to hide
Oh-oh-oh
Cause I'm coming for your life
Oh-oh-oh
That's cause blood will be shed
Long before I end your life
You're gonna wish you were already dead
[Verse 3]
His eyes lit up when he walked through the door
Bullet to the leg, he begged me to do no more
I said sure this is just the start
Cause you know what you did
Laid down my gun, let the games begin
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh
You should've found a place to hide
Oh-oh-oh
Cause I've come for your life
Oh-oh-oh
That's cause blood has been shed
Long before I end your life
You're gonna wish you were already dead
[Verse 3]
Took me a while to find out where you live
Cops are coming, so I guess I'll make it quick
I'm sure you don't know me, but I have heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my Loraine
See the Sheriff you murdered, well you got the wrong guy
I planted that gun, and I planted that lie
I pulled the strings, when I heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my Loraine
When I heard the train derailed, I hoped you were in hell
But when the Sheriff disappeared, that's what led me here
Took me a while to find out where you live
The cops are coming, so I guess I'll make it quick
I know you don't know me, but I have heard your name
From the sleeping lips of my Loraine
[gunshot]
