ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVEYARD (Sailor/Mentzer)

Wandering’ through the shadows
Like a ghost who’s lost his way
The sheriff’s on his trail now
Looks like there’s hell to pay
Looks like there’s hell to pay

He’s got one foot in the graveyard
Looks like there’s hell to pay

She took his best friend’s hand now
And in her bed they lay
He nearly lost his mind then
Upon his wedding day
Upon his wedding day

He’s got one foot in the graveyard
Upon his wedding day

The torture’s almost over
With this horse between his knees
A shot rings out and darkness falls
He’s swinging’ in the breeze
He’s swinging’ in the breeze

He’ll soon be in the graveyard
But now he’s swinging’ in the breeze
