Randy Rogers Band - Ten Miles Deep lyrics

rate me

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made

The Devil's come to take your boy away

I've been spotted on the run

I'll be waitin when they come

Hand me up my shotgun Maggie made

I was born a poor man's only son

It aint my fault I grew up on the run

I did my time as a working man

Fate kept blood stains on my hand

I was born a poor man's only son

Chorus:

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

Said brother when you lay me down

Down beneath the cold hard ground

You better put me ten miles deep

I keep my pistol by my head at night

Lordy I can't seen to do no right

My hometown, they know my name

Killed the man and won I my fame

Keep my pistol by my head at night

When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep

When Jesus comes he won't disturb my sleep

I knew it when they shot me down

Felt the flames from underground

When I'm dead just put me ten miles deep

Chorus:

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

When I'm dead, put me ten miles deep

Said brother when you lay me down

Down beneath the cold hard ground

You better put me ten miles deep

Said brother when you lay me down

Down beneath the cold hard ground

You better put me ten miles deep
