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
