Verse 1
They let me out on good behavior
I guess that much time in the can does things to you
First thing I did was say a prayer
And told myself I’d change and be brand new
But I guess everywhere I go trouble finds me
Won’t leave me alone, stay behind me
So I paid for my drinks, kept my head down
Walked past him
Hands in my pocket like…
[Whistle]
Verse 2
You might have a point and yes
I should have ran out and kept running
Cause all I have is time I know
But I’m so close to the edge
Suicidal thoughts
I’ll be free when I’m gone
Aye police officer
Won’t you come around
I think I shot a man down
Man down, man down
Aye, same test and troubles
Tripped over my hurdles
Now I shot a man down
Man down, man down
Aye man down, yeah, man down
Aye police officer
Won’t you come around
I think I shot a man down
Man down, man down
Verse 3
Mamma told me
Son don’t let them pull you down its all on you
She said boy you’re not perfect
I know, I know nobody is
It takes time, time
To master all of these
Same test and troubles
Tripped over my hurdles
Now I shot a man down
Now I shot a man down
She said boy you’re not perfect
I know, I know nobody is
It takes time, time
To master all of these
Same test and troubles
Tripped over my hurdles
Now I shot a man down
Now I shot a man down
She said boy you’re not perfect
I know, I know nobody is
It takes time, time
To master all of these
Same test and troubles
Tripped over my hurdles
Now I shot a man down
Now I shot a man down
Verse 4
I let you down again
Girl I’m going away from you
And if you can just find some place in your heart
To forgive me
Cause woman I’m guilty
Woman, I’m guilty
Woman, I’m guilty
