Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)
The Declaration of Independence
Think I could tell you that first sentence but then I'm lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head that I forgot
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or The Gettysburg Address
But there is one speech from high school
I'll never forget
Come on in boy, sit on down
And tell me 'bout yourself
So, you like my daughter, do you now?
Yeah, we think she's some' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get, ain't it son?
Now, y'all run along and have some fun
I'll see you when you get back
Bet I'll be up all night
Still cleaning this gun
Well, now that I'm a father
I'm scared to death one day my daughter
Is gonna find that teenage boy I used to be
That seems to have just one thing on his mind
She's growin' up so fast
It won't be long before
Yeah, I'll have to put the fear of God
Into some kid at the door
Yeah, come on in boy, sit on down
And tell me 'bout yourself
So you like my daughter, do you now?
Yeah, we think she's some' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get, now ain't it son?
Now y'all go out and have some fun
And I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleaning this gun
Now it's all for show
Ain't nobody gonna get hurt
It's just a daddy thing
And hey, believe me, man, it works
Yeah, come on in boy, sit on down
And tell me 'bout yourself
So you like my daughter, do you now?
Yeah, we think she's some' else
She's her daddy's girl
Her momma's world
She deserves respect
That's what she'll get, ain't it son?
Now y'all run along and have a little fun
And I'll see you when you get back
Probably be up all night
Still cleaning this gun
Ah, son, now y'all buckle up
And have her back by ten, uh
Let's say 'bout 9:30
Drive safe
Think I could tell you that first sentence but then I'm lost
I can't begin to count the theories
I've had pounded in my head that I forgot
I don't remember all that Spanish
Or The Gettysburg Address
