Chorus
GCG
One quick minute got me 28 long years
D
But I??d do it again, I don??t regret it
G
He laid his hand on my sister
CG
Too many times when I was near
D
And I shot him dead
G
and I don??t care
Verse
GCG
When sis was born and I was about twelve
D
??Bout the same time my old man, he went to jail
GCG
Then mom got sick, boy, she never got right
DG
And I took to that baby girl like she was mine
CG
Night after night, day after day
D
I worked my ass off to put money away
GCG
Then sis grew up and I grew older still
DG
And I love her the best and always will
Chorus
GCG
Then one quick minute got me 28 long years
D
But I??d do it again, I don??t regret it
G
He laid his hand on my sister
CG
Too many times when I was near
D
And I shot him dead
G
and I don??t care

Verse
GCG
Well, Sis met a man whose name I will not tell
D
Nine years her senior and I did wish them well
G
He had a car and a job
CG
and she was in love
DG
And I blessed them both the best I could
GCG
Sis loved to dance and she lived honestly
D
But that old dog tried to control her in every way
GCG
First came the drinking then the jealousy
DG
This town is too small for me not to see
GCG
Him out every night with every girl in town
DG
Just before he goes home and pushes my sister around
CG
I thought it out not to intervene
DG
Unless my baby sister, she came to me
GCG
Well, she did one night when that old dog showed up
D
She whispered on the phone, ??Ken I ain??t feeling so good??
G
When I got to the house
CG
what I saw was true
DG
My baby sister beaten black and blue
GCG
Well I took my last breath of fresh free air
D
And I found that piece of sh*t asleep in his relaxing chair
GCG
I hit him good with a solid right and a solid left
DG
And I forced him to his feet for his last breath
GCG
Well he cowered and run, but he didn??t get far
D
Cause my sister shot him f**king dead just outside his car
GC
Boy, she wept and I did too
GDGG
Then I told the police I did what I had to do
Chorus
GCG
And that one quick minute got me 28 long years
D
But I??d do it again, I don??t regret it
G
He laid his hand on my sister
CG
Too many times when I was near
D
And I shot him dead
G
and I don??t care
G
Yeah, one quick minute got me 28 long years
N.C.
But I??d do it again, I don??t regret it
N.C.
He laid his hand on my sister
N.C.
Too many times when I was near
G
And I shot him dead and I don??t care
