Petra - Killing My Old Man lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

I think its gone far enough

I can't take it anymore

I've got to even up the score

Before he sweeps me off the floor

I've really got to find a way

Of taking care of him for good

I know he'd kill me if he could

So I'll nail him to the wood

(Chorus)

Killing my old man

You may not understand

He's a terrible man

Got to make a stand

And kill the old man

(Bridge)

Every time that I think he's gone and I've finally won

He just keeps coming back, puts me on the run

I think I'd better do it now

Get my hammer and a nail

Pray to God I that I won't fail

Lest he'll keep me in the jail

And I don't wanna stay in jail!
