That Man I Shot lyrics

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
