That Man I Shot Lyrics - Drive By Truckers

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 just 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 

Break 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 that 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
