| 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 (oh!) |
| 'Cause I didn’t mean to hurt him |
| Coulda been somebody’s son |
| And I 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 |
| (whoa, whoa, whoa) |
| Oh, mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down |
| Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom |
| Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom! |
| Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you |
| Somebody tell me what I’m gonna, what I’m gonna do? |
| Mama, oh! |
| Shot the man |
| Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom |
| Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom! |
| Mama, mama, mama I just shot a man down |
| In Central Station! |
