| I killed a man last night, gave him what he deserved |
| Dug a midnight grave, and I put him in that dirt |
| I woke up this morning, my conscience fully clear |
| Felt closer to Jesus than I ever had in years |
|
| He can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's heart |
| He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart |
| He can't stand there in the mirror, he can't tell me no more lies |
| Yeah, I killed a man, I killed a man last night |
|
| Lord knows he had it comin', his sins were adding up |
| But when he drove that girl away, I finally had enough |
| I coulda pled the fifth, but I poured it down the drain |
| Said that sinner's prayer, and I sent him on his way |
|
| Now he can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's heart |
| He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart |
| He can't stand there in the mirror, he can't tell me no more lies |
| Yeah, I killed a man, I killed a man last night |
|
| Wish it didn't take this long |
| But now he's finally gone |
|
| Now he can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's heart |
| He can't take that whiskey bottle and tear my world apart |
| He can't stand there in the mirror, he can't tell me no more lies |
| He's gone for good this time, I killed a man, I killed a man last night |
|
| I killed a man, I killed a man last night |
| Oh |
| I killed a man, I killed a man last night, mmm |
