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 He can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's 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 Lord knows he had it comin', his sins were adding up But when he drove that girl away, I finally had enough I coulda pled the fifth, but I poured it down the drain Said that sinner's prayer, and I sent him on his way Now he can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's 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 Wish it didn't take this long But now he's finally gone Now he can't hurt the ones I love, he can't break no angel's 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 I killed a man, I killed a man last night Oh I killed a man, I killed a man last night, mmm
