Time to Get a Gun
My neighbor's car got stole last night
Right out of his driveway
We heard the dog 'a barking
We never paid them any mind
And Mary says she's gonna lock the door
From now on when we go away
I've been walking around this farm
Wondering if it's time
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It's time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
When I walked out of my back door
He said "I'm sorry to bother you ma'am"
It don't matter anymore
'Cause even while we're talking
Right here where we stand
They're making plans for a four-lane highway
And a big ole overpass
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It's time to get a gun
Mary says she's worried
About herself and her kids
She's never known anybody had a gun
And her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me
'Cause when it's all said and done
Somebody's gotta walk into the night
And I'm gonna be that one
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It's time to get a gun
When the party is over
It's time to get a gun
Right out of his driveway
We heard the dog 'a barking
We never paid them any mind
And Mary says she's gonna lock the door
From now on when we go away
I've been walking around this farm
Wondering if it's time
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It's time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
When I walked out of my back door
He said "I'm sorry to bother you ma'am"
It don't matter anymore
'Cause even while we're talking
Right here where we stand
They're making plans for a four-lane highway
And a big ole overpass
Time to get a gun
That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between

When the talking is over

She's never known anybody had a gun

Well I think it should be up to me

That's what I been thinkin'
I could afford one if I did
Just a little less drinkin'
Time to put something between
Me and the sun
When the talking is over
It's time to get a gun
When the party is over
It's time to get a gun
