Lyrics
That man I shot He was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me That man I shot I didn't know him I was doing my job Maybe so was he That man I shot I was in his homeland I was there to help him But he didn't want me there I did not hate him I still don't hate him He was trying to kill me And I had to take him down That man I shot I still can see him When I should be sleeping Tossing and turning He's looking at me Eyes looking through me Broke out in cold sweats When I see him standing there That man I shot Shot not in anger There's no denying It was in self-defense But when I close my eyes I still can see him I feel his last breath In the calm dead of night That man I shot He was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me He was trying to kill me Sometimes I wonder If I should be there I hold my little ones Until he disappears I hold my little ones Until he disappears I hold my little ones Until we disappear And I'm not crazy Or at least I never was But there's this big thing I can't get rid of That man I shot Did he have little ones That he was so proud of That he won't see grow up? Was walking down his street? Maybe I was in his yard Was trying to do good I just don't understand I just don't understand I just don't understand
