I killed a man
In the river
Yeah, I watched the current carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man
Down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life
To keep one out the grave
He was friends with the Devil
Wasn't worth a dang
Tried to drown me in a bottle
Tried to choke me on smoke
He was hurting my momma
Had my ol' man praying like a preacher at the end of his rope
It was justified
It was self-defense
It was do or die
It was me and him
So I killed a man
In the river
Yeah, I watched the current carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man
Down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life
To keep one out the grave
I didn't pull no knife, didn't fire no gun
Just to held him under long enough to put him down
Nobody's gonna miss that prodigal son
He's probably halfway down the Mississippi by now
Went from guilty as sin to covered in blood
Now who I am ain't who I was
'Cause I killed a man
In the river
Yeah, I watched the current carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man
Down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life
To keep one out the grave
Wiping muddy water outta my eyes
That's the day that I saw the light
'Bout six feet out in the Buffalo
Was my Damascus road
So I killed a man
In the river
Yeah, I watched the current carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man
Down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life
To keep one out the grave
Oh, sometimes you gotta take a life
To keep one out the grave
ย
I killed a man
I killed a man
I killed a man
He was friends with the Devil
Wasn't worth a dang
Tried to drown me in a bottle
Tried to choke me on smoke
