Title: Dead Man’s Dance Shoes [Intro] I told the reaper Hold my coat I ain’t done yet [Hook] I got dead man’s dance shoes Bad luck, good moves Whole room yelling when the bass drum booms I ain’t ready for the cold black suit Dead man’s dance shoes Graveyard grin with a barroom groove If death wants me, tell him wait his turn I got one more floor to burn [Verse 1] Doctor said slow down, preacher said pray Boss said work till you waste away Mama said boy, don’t you act a fool I said too late, I already look cool The jukebox coughed and the lights went red Somebody shouted, ain’t you supposed to be dead I said maybe so, but the night feels nice And these old boots got a little more life [Pre-Chorus] Left foot trouble Right foot sin Clap your hands I’m alive again [Hook] I got dead man’s dance shoes Bad luck, good moves Whole room yelling when the bass drum booms I ain’t ready for the cold black suit Dead man’s dance shoes Graveyard grin with a barroom groove If death wants me, tell him wait his turn I got one more floor to burn [Verse 2] I been knocked down, dragged out, counted gone Had my last call written in a sad slow song But I heard that snare hit hard in my chest And I came back wearing my Sunday best Don’t bring lilies, bring a bottle and a band Don’t bring tears, bring a two-step plan When the black car pulls up shining outside Tell the driver I need five more rides [Bridge] I don’t fear that final door I just ain’t walking through it bored If I gotta go, when I gotta go Let me leave with rhythm in my soul [Breakdown Chant] Step Step Slide Spin Death knocked once I said not again Step Step Turn Flame Tell that dirt It forgot my name [Final Hook] I got dead man’s dance shoes Bad luck, good moves Whole room yelling when the bass drum booms I ain’t ready for the cold black suit Dead man’s dance shoes Graveyard grin with a barroom groove If death wants me, tell him wait his turn I got one more floor to burn [Outro] I told the reaper Hold my coat I ain’t done yet Not even close
