Lyrics

I Shouldn't Have Shot

I shouldn't have shot
shouldn't have got so hot
shouldn't has a gun in my hand
gone and killed an innocent man
now my friend is dead he's dead and gone

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead
won't he come back to heal his head?
I don't know he don't say
guess I'll find out on my judgment day
I shouldn't have shot
now my friend is dead
dead and gone

CHORUS:
I couldn't take it anymore
I caught him walking out my lovers door
now she's crying the curtains drawn
now my lover too is gone

Over the river across the sea
'I'll go there they won't find me
but I've got no money no means to pay
soon the sheriff will come and say
son you shouldn't have shot
shouldn't have got so hot
now your friend he's dead
dead and gone

Chorus:

I shouldn't have shot
shouldn't have got so hot
shouldn't had a gun in my hands
now my friend is dead dead and gone
I shouldn't have shot
