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 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 pum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum Man Down Rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum 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 pum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum Man Down Rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum 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
