"Man Down"

I didn't mean to end his life

I know it wasn't right

 I can't even sleep at night

Can't get it off my mind

 I need to get out of sight

 Before I end up behind bars

 What started out as a simple altercation

 Turned into a real sticky situation

 Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing

 Makes me wanna cry

 Cause I didn't mean to hurt him

 Coulda been somebody's son

 And I took his heart when

 I pulled out that gun

 Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Man Down

 Oh mama mama mama

 I just shot a man down

 In central station

 In front of a big ol crowd

 Oh Why

 Oh Why

 Oh mama mama mama

 I just shot a man down

 In central station

It's a 22

I Call her Peggy Sue

 When she fits right down in my shoes

What do you expect me to do

 If you're playing me for a fool

I will lose my cool

 And reach for my fire arm

 I didn't mean to lay him down

 But its too late to turn back now

 Don't know what I was thinking

Now hes no longer living

 So Imma bout to leave town

 [ , ]

Cause I didn't mean to hurt him

Coulda been somebody's son

And I took his heart when

I pulled out that gun

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
