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 gun
Rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum
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 Station
Little 22 I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What you expect me to do?
If you're playing me for a fool I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm
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
Yeah
'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-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum rum-pa-pa-pum
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
Criminal In Central Station
Said I'd never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh what ever happened to me
Ever happened to me ever happened to me?
