I used to hate someone

from Looking West (Remix) by Dermot (Dee) McIlroy

/

about

The story of a man having a fight in bar with another regular who he didn't particularly like, but when arrested for his murder, he protests his innocence.

lyrics

Intro; Instrumental
Chorus;
I used to hate someone, then somebody shot him down.
I pity his wife and son but I’m glad that he’s gone.

I got into a fight just the other night
With and old friend I never liked
And he never liked me
It was a bar room brawl, guess I told him what I thought
How I thought his world looked small. Meant nothing at all.

Instrumental;
Got up and left the bar, decided to leave my car.
So I walked for about an hour then fell into bed.
Woke in the early morn with sirens outside my door.
The cops there on my front porch and they’re looking for me

Middle 8
I never liked one hair on his head.
I never liked one thing that he said
But I never could have killed that man.
It’s just not who I am, It’s just not who I am. Instrumental

Went to the county jail. Got questioned by sheriff Cale
A murder they tried to nail on little old me
Me with no alibi, no matter how much I tried
To tell them I never lied, my life was denied.
Instrumental and Chorus;
