I didn't wanna shoot that man
but he heard that I was fast
You know that liquor gave him the courage
to put a man to the ground
But nobody saw, I couldn't claim
So I took off with the morning sun,
They've been running just like me,
"Ain't you the man who shot that boy?"
and want his turn to dance
So here I die in some street that night,
Never meant to be a bad man,
Ain't going to be nothing in Hell
I haven't lived through here
I'm just going to walk out
and wish you all goodnight
I never meant to be a bad man,
Never meant to be a bad man,
Ain't going to be nothing in Hell
I haven't lived through here
I'm just going to walk out,
yeah tonight I'll save your life
I never meant to be a bad man,
