I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night, can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight before I end up behind bars
It started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real stick situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing makes me wanna cry
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
She said she'd do it for her mom and Vegas too
When she fits right down in my shoes, what you expect me to do?
If you're playing me for a fool, I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking, now he's no longer living
So I'm about to leave town
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Man down
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
Said I never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Oh gosh, whatever happened to me?
Ever happened to me?
Ever happened to me?
Why did I pull the trigger?
Pull the trigger?
Pull the trigger?
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do?
Hey, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
Me say one man down
I want me say rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum, rum-pa-pa-pum
When we went downtown
'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord have mercy, now I am a criminal
Man down, tell the judge please give me minimal
Run outta town, none of them can see me now, see me now
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down in Central Station
