My name is Joel Roberts
I had to kill him for my good God daughter
I walked in, he was holding her down
I got my gun and I gave him a round
And I know that I'm saying too much
I'm not good at this kind of stuff
But I know I'd do it again
Yeah, I know I'd do it again
I'd do it again
Her old man John Carter
Fought hard for the good of his brother
Got home but he lost his leg
Lost her, got lost in the keg
He called me and I gave him my blessing
And he died in a final confessing
"All my baby has now is you"
So I raised her up tall and true
Yeah my name is Joel Roberts
I had to kill him for my best friends daughter
I walked in, he was holding her down
I got my gun and I gave him a round
And now I love him now like my own
The kinda thing that grinds your bones
And I tell you I'd do it again
I know I'd do it again
Yeah I don't wanna try so hard
I didn't want this life
I had a cold heart before
He cut it with a knife
And I didn't want a family
Nothing here to tie me down but
When I take her driving
It still feels like he's around and
My name is Joel Roberts
And now I love her, she's my good God daughter
And I'll fight 'til I'm deep in my grave
Keep her safe, keep her going a way
And I love her now like my own
The kind of thing just grinds your bones
And when I tell you I'd do it again
I know I'd do it again
I'd do it again
Cause my name is Joel Roberts
A bad man tried to kill my daughter
I came home, he was holding her down
I had to go put him under the ground
My name is Joel Roberts
I had to kill him for my good God daughter
I walked in, he was holding her down
I got my gun and I gave him a round
And I know that I'm saying too much
I'm not good at this kind of stuff
But I know I'd do it again
Yeah, I know I'd do it again
