I killed a man last night
Gave him what he deserved
Dug a midnight grave
And I put him in that dirt
I woke up this morning
My conscience fully clear
Felt closer to Jesus
Than I ever had in years
(Chorus)
He can’t hurt the ones I love
He can’t break no angels heart
He can’t take that whiskey bottle
And tear my world apart
He can’t stand there in the mirror
He can’t tell me no more lies
Yeah I killed a man
I killed a man last night
(Verse 2)
Lord knows he had it comin’
His sins were adding up
But when he drove that girl away
I finally had enough
I coulda plead the fifth
But I poured it down the drain
Said that sinner’s prayer
And I sent him on his way
Now
(Chorus)
He can’t hurt the ones I love
He can’t break no angels heart
He can’t take that whiskey bottle
And tear my world apart
He can’t stand there in the mirror
He can’t tell me no more lies
Yeah I killed a man
I killed a man last night
(Bridge)
Wish it didn’t take this long
But now he’s finally gone
Now
(Chorus)
He can’t hurt the ones I love
He can’t break no angels heart
He can’t take that whiskey bottle
And tear my world apart
He can’t stand there in the mirror
He can’t tell me no more lies
He’s gone for good this time
I killed a man
I killed a man last night
(Outro)
I killed a man
I killed a man last night
Oh
I killed a man
I killed a man last night
