  Well, he wasnt looking for fanfare or fame
  But it all came around just the same
  He then met a girl with desire in her eye
  He gave her love, she took his name
  The times they were good, the times they were bad
  Most times it was just in-between
  The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had
  She put on display for all to be seen
  Some find their solace in work or the Lord
  She was quite content in her dream
  When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light
  He found comfort in the bottle of the old Jimmy Beam
  One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole
  He reached out for something to feel
  She offered back nothin but lack of respect
  So he let himself out with two barrels of steel
  She cried in the day, she cried in the night
  She cried loudest when someone was near
  Whether crying for him or she cried for herself
  The bigger the camera the bigger the tear
  Most folks agree she was living a hell
  And publicly she showed her pain
  And never once was there a thought for herself
  And the ever growing slices of fortune and fame
  Now on the coattails of a dead man shell ride 
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride high
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride 
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride high
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride 
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride high
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride 
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride high
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride 
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride
  On the coattails of a dead man shell ride, shell ride high
