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 'fore 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 I took his heart when
I pulled out that gunRum 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 stationIt's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
Whatchu expect me to do?
If you're playin' me for a fool, I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm
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 'bout to leave town, aye uh
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gunRum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum
