The Dead Man Speaks Song Lyrics

I hear a voice
From the grave
Calling my name
Bringing me shame
Talking like he
Still has claim
But I got no time for that dead man's game

Rattlin' chains
Like he holds the key
Begging for a fight
The dead man screams
Six feet down
I won't dig him up
'Cause I've had enough
Of his accusing voice

The dead man speaks
I'm not listenin'
I know he's got nothin' good to say
That man's buried
That voice has no rights
When the dead man speaks

I took him down to the river
Watched the water cover his head
Memories of his ghost try to haunt me
But that old man is gone
And he's not comin' back anymore

Sometimes I hear him
In the dead of night
Sayin' I've not changed
I'm just playin' games
I hold the line
I know what's real
I won't listen to a dead man's deal

The dead man speaks
I'm not listenin'
I know he's got nothin' good to say
That man's buried
That voice has no rights
When the dead man speaks
