Zach Williams - Killed A Man Lyrics

Lyrics: 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

He was friends with the devil Wadn’t worth a dang Tried to drown me in a bottle Tried to choke me on smoke He was hurtin my momma Had my ol man prayin like a preacher at the end of his rope

It was justified It was self defense It was do or die It was me and him

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

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 Went from guilty as sin to covered in blood Now who I am ain’t who I was (Cause)

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

Wiping muddy water outa my eyes That’s the day that I saw the light Bout 6 feet out in the Buffalo Was my Damascus road

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

(Ohh) Oh sometimes You gotta Take a life To keep one out the grave

I killed a man I killed a man I killed a man

He was friends with the devil Wadn’t worth a dang Tried to drown me in a bottle Tried to choke me on smoke
