Lyrics
I remember it all like it was yesterday
everybody started to run
Shots rang out one man down
I had to get rid of the gun
I don't know if he deserved what he got
blood runs thicker than water
We stick together no matter what
It was passed down from our father
CHORUS
In the face of a Georgia Jury
i had to tell a terrible lie
And swear that my brother didn’t kill that man
No need to have another man die
Live this life with No regrets
That’s how it’s gonna be
Did you bring me any more Cigarettes
Was the only thing he asked of me
Telling my lie may be as big a sin
The bible says an eye for an eye
Ain't no man worth turning on kin
We can’t go back and change that night
CHORUS
