Lyrics
LAST NIGHT I KILLED A MAN.
HOW COULD THIS BE?
HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND
YOU HAVE TO FIGHT
IF YOU CAN'T FLEE
I GAVE FAIR WARNING
I HAD NOWHERE TO RUN
HE KEPT ON COMING
I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD A GUN
I DIDN'T WANT TO
BUT THERE IT IS
NOW HE'S A DEAD MAN
AND I'M IN JAIL FOR MY SINS
OH YES I KILLED A MAN
I GUESS IT'S TRUE
AND NOW HE'S DEAD AND GONE
AND THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING
I CAN DO
TO BRING HIM BACK AGAIN
I NEVER WILL
I'M WORRIED IN MY SOUL
THE GOOD BOOK SAYS
THOU SHALT NOT KILL
I'M GONNA DREAD THIS DAY
LONG AS I LIVE
IF THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY
I WOULD GIVE EVERY THING
I HAVE TO GIVE.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT
I WAS FINALLY BACK ON MY FEET.
WITH A PLACE OF MY OWN
AFTER YEARS OF LIVING ON THE STREET.
TROUBLE CAN FIND YOU
WHERE EVER YOU ARE
YOU CAN RUN YOU CAN HIDE
BUT YOU WANT GET TOO FAR
IN A WORLD FULL OF ANGER
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A RETREAT.
