[Chorus]
A G I killed a man in the river D Yeah, I watched the current G D A Carry him away A G Yeah, I killed a man down in the river D G D A Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave
[Interlude]
A G D
A G D
[Verse 1]
A He was friends with the devil A Wasn't worth a dang G Tried to drown me in the bottle D Tried to choke me on smoke A He was hurtin' my mama A Had my old man G D Prayin' like a preacher at the end of his rope
[Prechorus]
G It was justified G It was self-defense G It was do-or-die G It was me or him
[Chorus]
A G So I killed a man in the river D Yeah, I watched the current G D A Carry him away A G Yeah, I killed a man down in the river D G D A Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave
[Verse 2]
A Didn't pull no knife G Didn't fire no gun D G D Just held him under long enough to put him down A G Nobody's gonna miss that prodigal son D G D He's probably halfway down the Mississippi by now
[Prechorus]
G Went from guilty in sin G To covered in blood G Now who I am ain't who I was
[Chorus]
A G I killed a man in the river D Yeah, I watched the current G D A Carry him away A G Yeah, I killed a man down in the river D G D A Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave
[Bridge]
G D A Wipin' muddy water out of my eyes G D A And that's the day that I saw the light G D A 'Bout six feet out in the Buffalo G D Was my Damascus Road
[Chorus]
A G So I killed a man in the river D Yeah, I watched the current G D A Carry him away A G Yeah, I killed a man down in the river D G D A Yeah, I had to take a life to keep one out the grave
[Tag]
D Oh, sometimes you gotta take a life G D A To keep one out the grave
