I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't 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 of the time that I'm 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
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Man down
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Man down
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
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 d'you expect me to
Do if they'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 he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town, eh
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebodies son
And I took his heart when
I pulled up that gun
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Man down
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Man down
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
But do you hear me now?
Said I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Ever happened to me
Why did I pull de trigger
Pull de trigger
Pull de trigger
BOOM
And end a ni**a end a ni**as life so soon
When me pull de trigger
Pull de trigger
Pulled it 'pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna
What I'm gonna do, eh
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Me say one man down
Oh when me say
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
Brum pa-pa-pum
When me went down town
Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh lord oh mercy now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please give me minimal
Run out of town none of them can see me now, see me now
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
