Dog Bumped by Tim Barry Lyrics
[Chorus]
One quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
[Verse]
When sis was born and I was about twelve
‘Bout the same time my old man, he went to jail
Then mom got sick, boy, she never got right
And I took to that baby girl like she was mine
Night after night, day after day
I worked my ass off to put money away
Then sis grew up and I grew older still
And I love her the best and always will
[Chorus]
Then one quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
[Verse]
Well, Sis met a man whose name I will not tell
Nine years her senior and I did wish them well
He had a car and a job and she was in love
And I blessed them both the best I could
Sis loved to dance and she lived honestly
But that old dog tried to control her in every way
First came the drinking then the jealousy
This town is too small for me not to see
Him out every night with every girl in town
Just before he goes home and pushes my sister around
I thought it out not to intervene
Unless my baby sister, she came to me
Well, she did one night when that old dog showed up
She whispered on the phone, “Ken I ain’t feeling so good”
When I got to the house what I saw was true
My baby sister beaten black and blue
Well I took my last breath of fresh free air
And I found that piece of shit asleep in his relaxing chair
I hit him good with a solid right and a solid left
And forced him to his feet for his last breath
Well he cowered and run, but he didn’t get far
Cause my sister shot him fucking dead just outside his car
Boy, she wept and I did too
Then I told the police I did what I had to do
[Chorus]
And that one quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
Yeah, one quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
One quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
[Verse]
When sis was born and I was about twelve
‘Bout the same time my old man, he went to jail
Then mom got sick, boy, she never got right
And I took to that baby girl like she was mine
Night after night, day after day
I worked my ass off to put money away
Then sis grew up and I grew older still
And I love her the best and always will
[Chorus]
Then one quick minute got me 28 long years
But I’d do it again, I don’t regret it
He laid his hand on my sister
Too many times when I was near
And I shot him dead and I don’t care
