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 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 you expect me to
Do if you are play-ing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it’s too late to turn back now
Don’t know what I was thinking
Now he’s no longer living
So I’m about to leave town
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebodies 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
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
Look I never thought i'd do it
Never thought i'd do it
Never thought i'd do it
