NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 21, 2023) – MCA Nashville’s Catie Offerman releases her newest track today, “I Just Killed A Man.” The song is written by Offerman, Ryan Beaver (Blake Shelton, HARDY), Joe Clemmons (Gabby Barrett, Ryan Hurd), Jessie Jo Dillon (George Strait, Jon Pardi) and Benjy Davis (Chris Young, Jake Owen), and is produced by Dann Huff. The track will go to country radio next month and will be featured on Offerman’s upcoming debut project.

The heartbreak song was the idea of Clemmons and Beaver, who came up with the title and suggested they try to write something called “I Just Killed A Man.”

“No one’s ever said it like that before. It’s a different and brutally honest way of saying ‘I just broke this dude’s heart,’” says Offerman. “It’s about a guy I loved who I wasn’t meant to be with.  

Adds Offerman, “I love the line in the bridge that says, ‘just because it ain’t a crime, don’t mean I won’t be doing time.’ Even if you’re the one doing the breaking up, it still kills you like nothing else. I knew from the first second this song was spoken into existence that it was something special. My hope is that others feel that when they hear it.”

Lyrics for “I Just Killed A Man”

There ain’t nobody calling the cops 

There ain’t no body circled in chalk 

It was over and he knew it 

Yeah, somebody had to do it 

I just killed a man 

Left him in his drive 

Watch the light go out of his loving eyes 

I got in my car 

Made my get away 

Couldn’t stop the tears 

Running down my face 

Yeah, he begged me not to let him go 

But goodbye don’t give a damn 

They won’t lock me up for this one, no 

But his heartbreak’s on my hands 

I just killed a man 

Tonight it’s just whiskey and guilt on the rocks 

Word gets around, this towns gonna talk 

It ain’t like I never loved him 

Wish that mattered, but it doesn’t 

I just killed a man 

Left him in his drive 

Watch the light go out of his loving eyes 

I got in my car 

Made my get away 

Couldn’t stop the tears 

Running down my face 

Yeah, he begged me not to let him go 

But goodbye don’t give a damn 

They won’t lock me up for this one, no 

But his heartbreak’s on my hands 

I just killed a man 

Just because it ain’t a crime 

Don’t mean I won’t be doing time 

I just killed a man 

I just killed a man 

Left him in his drive 

Watch the light go out of his loving eyes 

I got in my car 

Made my get away 

Neither one of us will be the same 

Yeah, he begged me not to let him go 

But goodbye don’t give a damn 

They won’t lock me up for this one, no 

But his heartbreak’s on my hands 

I just killed a man I just killed a man
