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 l 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
lt's a station
.22
Call a 'PeggySue'
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 firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But its too late to turn back now
Don't know what l was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So lmma bout to leave town..Help!
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And l took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum
