Drive-By Truckers - The Man I Shot lyrics

Your rating:




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

I was just doing my job, maybe so was he



That man I shot, I was in his homeland

I was there to help him but 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

Break out in cold sweats 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



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 that 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
