The Man I Shot
Lyricist:John Michael Cooley, Patterson Hood, Brad Morgan, John Neff, Shonna Tucker
That man I shot, he was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me, he was trying to kill me That man I shot, I didn't know him Was doing my job, maybe so was he
That man I shot, I was in his homeland I was there to help him, he didn't want me there I did not hate him, I still don't hate him He was trying to kill me, and I had to take him down
That man I shot, I still can see him When I should be sleeping, tossing and turning He's looking at me, eyes looking through me Broke out in cold sweat, when I see him standing there
That man I shot, shot not in anger There's no denying it was in self-defense But when I close my eyes, I still can see him I feel his last breath in the calm dead of night Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
That man I shot, he was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me, he was trying to kill me Sometimes I wonder if I should be there I hold my little ones until he disappears
I hold my little ones until he disappears I hold my little ones until we disappear And I'm not crazy or at least I never was But there's this big thing I can't get rid of
That man I shot, did he have little ones? That he was so proud of, that he won't see grow up? Was walking down his street, maybe I was in his yard Was trying to do good, I just don't understand
I just don't understand I just don't understand
