[Chorus]
[G]One quick minute got me[C] 28 long ye[G]ars
But I'd do it again, I don't[D] regret it
He laid his h[G]and on my sister
Too many t[C]imes when I was n[G]ear
And I shot him dead[D]
and I do[G]n't care
[Verse]
When s[G]is was born [C]and I was about tw[G]elve
'Bout the same time my old man, he[D] went to jail
Then m[G]om got sick, boy, she[C] never got r[G]ight
And I took to that baby g[D]irl like she was[G] mine
Night after night, d[C]ay after d[G]ay
I worked my ass off to put m[D]oney away
Then s[G]is grew up and [C]I grew older s[G]till
And I love her the best[D] and alwa[G]ys will
[Chorus]
Then o[G]ne quick minute got me[C] 28 long ye[G]ars
But I'd do it again, I don't[D] regret it
He laid his h[G]and on my sister
Too many t[C]imes when I was n[G]ear
And I shot him dead[D]
and I do[G]n't care

[Verse]
Well, S[G]is met a man whose name I[C] will not t[G]ell
Nine years her senior and I did w[D]ish them well
He had a c[G]ar and a job
[C]and she was in l[G]ove
And I blessed them both[D] the best I[G] could
[G]Sis loved to dance and she l[C]ived honestl[G]y
But that old dog tried to control her in e[D]very way
[G]First came the drinking then the[C] jealou[G]sy
This town is too small for [D]me not to s[G]ee
[G]Him out every night with e[C]very girl in t[G]own
Just before he goes home and pushes my s[D]ister around[G]
I thought it out not to[C] interv[G]ene
Unless my baby s[D]ister, she came to [G]me
Well, she d[G]id one night when that[C] old dog showed [G]up
She whispered on the phone, 'Ken I ain?[D]?t feeling so good'
[G]When I got to the house
[C]what I saw was t[G]rue
My baby sister b[D]eaten black and b[G]lue
Well I t[G]ook my last breath of fr[C]esh free a[G]ir
And I found that piece of sht asleep in his rel[D]axing chair
[G]I hit him good with a solid ri[C]ght and a solid l[G]eft
And I forced him to his f[D]eet for his la[G]st breath
Well he[G] cowered and run, but he di[C]dn't get[G] far
Cause my sister shot him fking dead just outs[D]ide his car
[G]Boy, she wept[C] and I did too
Then I t[G]old the police I d[D]id what I had to d[G]o[C][G]
[Chorus]
And that o[G]ne quick minute got me [C]28 long y[G]ears
But I'd do it again, I don't[D] regret it
He laid his h[G]and on my sister
Too many t[C]imes when I was n[G]ear
And I shot him dead[D]
and I do[G]n't care
Yeah, o[G]ne 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
And I shot him dead and I don't[G] care
[G]One quick minute got me[C] 28 long ye[G]ars
But I'd do it again, I don't[D] regret it
He laid his h[G]and on my sister
Too many t[C]imes when I was n[G]ear
