Killed A Man
by Zach Williams

Album: Jesus Loves

Chorus
I killed a man in the river
Yeah, I watched the current
Carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave

Verse 1
He was friends with the devil
Wasn't worth a dang
Tried to drown me in the bottle
Tried to choke me on smoke
He was hurtin' my mama
Had my old man
Prayin' like a preacher at the end of his rope

PreChorus
It was justified
It was self-defense
It was do-or-die
It was mе or him

Chorus
So I killed a man in the river
Yеah, I watched the current
Carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave

Verse 2
Didn't pull no knife
Didn't fire no gun
Just held him under long enough to put him down
Nobody's gonna miss that prodigal son
He's probably halfway down the Mississippi by now

PreChorus
Went from guilty in sin
To covered in blood
Now who I am ain't who I was

Chorus
I killed a man in the river
Yeah, I watched the current
Carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave

Bridge
Wipin' muddy water out of my eyes
And that's the day that I saw the light
'Bout six feet out in the Buffalo
Was my Damascus Road

Chorus
So I killed a man in the river
Yeah, I watched the current
Carry him away
Yeah, I killed a man down in the river
Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave
Oh, sometimes you gotta take a life
To keep one out the grave

Outro
I killed a man, I killed a man
I killed a man (ohh-ohh)
He was friends with the devil
Wasn't worth a dang
Tried to drown me in the bottle
Tried to choke me on smoke
