"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

Man Down

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