I shot the man that shot The Man

[Verse 1]

I shot the man that shot The Man
I did what I did
I prayed for the chance
Booth died on the porch (died on the porch)
Gasping for air (gasping for air *breath*)
Forgive me, my Lord (forgive me, my Lord)
It's a burden I'll bear (forgive me, my Lord)

[Chorus 1]

You could call me crazy
You wouldn't be wrong
I've heard it said before
God will save me
Providence guided my hand
But I pulled the trigger, my friends (oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]

An act of revenge for a president
A little more violence to bring a war to an end
But I can't keep a job
I can't deal with the fame
I sleep with my gun
There's something wrong in my brain
Or so said the judge
They put me in chains
But I made my escape from Topeka insane asylum

[Chorus 2]

You could call it reckless
And I might agree
But I still made history
God will save me
Providence guided my hand
But I pulled the trigger, my friends (oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh-oh)
(oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 3]

When I disappear (oh-oh-oh)
You'll never hear from me again (oh-oh-oh)
A paranoid fear (oh-oh-oh)
I'm certain they marked me for death (oh-oh-oh)
A rogue pioneer (oh-oh-oh)
Settle wherever I can (oh-oh-oh)
And my final years (oh-oh-oh)
I'll never write to my friends (oh-oh-oh)
Nobody will grieve when I'm dead

I shot the man that shot The Man
