I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right
I didn't mean to end his life I know it wasn't right
I cant even sleep at night Cant 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 im facing
Makes me wanna cry
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him Coulda been somebodies son
And I took his heart when I pulled up 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 somebodies son
And I took his heart when I pulled up 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
