[Verse 1]

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 mornin', my conscience fully clear

Felt closer to Jesus than I ever had in years


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

Lord knows hе had it comin', his sins were addin' up

But when hе drove that girl away, I finally had enough

I could've pled the fifth, but I poured it down the drain

Said that sinner's prayer and I sent him on his way


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

Wish it didn't take this long

But now he's finally gone


[Chorus]

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


[Outro]

I killed a man, I killed a man last night (Oh)

I killed a man, I killed a man last night, mm
