My name is Joel Roberts I had to kill him for my good goddaughter I walked in, he was holdin' her down I got my gun and I gave him a round And I know that I'm sayin' too much I'm not good at this kind of stuff But I know I'd do it again Yeah, I know I'd do it again Oh, I'd do it again Her old man, John Carter Fought hard for the good of his brother Got home, but he lost his leg Lost her, got lost in the keg He called me and I gave him my blessin' And he died in a final confessing: "All my baby has now is you" So I raised her up tall and true Yeah my name is Joel Roberts I had to kill him for my best friend's daughter I walked in, he was holdin' her down I got my gun and I gave him a round And I love hеr now like my own The kind of thing that grinds your bones And I tеll you, I'd do it again I know I'd do it again I don't wanna try so hard I didn't want this life I had a cold heart before He cut it with a knife, and I didn't want a family Nothin' here to tie me down, but When I take her driving it still feels like he's around My name is Joel Roberts And now I love her, she's my good goddaughter And I'll fight 'til I'm deep in my grave Keep her safe, keep her goin' her way And I love her now like my own The kind of thing just grinds your bones When I tell you I'd do it again I know I'd do it again I'd do it again Cause my name is Joel Roberts That bad man tried to kill my daughter I came home, he was holdin' her down I had to go put him under the ground My name is Joel Roberts I had to kill him for my good goddaughter I walked in, he was holdin' her down I got my gun and I gave him a round And I know that I'm sayin' too much I'm not good at this kind of stuff But I know I'd do it again Yeah, I know I'd do it again
