Time to Get a Gun

[Verse 1] My neighbor’s car got stolen last night Right out of his driveway We heard the dogs 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 walkin' around this farm Wonderin' if it’s time [Chorus] Time to get a gun That’s what I've been thinkin' I could afford one If I did just a little less drinkin' Time to put somethin' Between me and the sun When the talkin' is over It’s time to get a gun [Verse 2] Last week a government man was there When I walked out my back door He said, "I’m sorry to bother you, ma’am" It don’t matter anymore 'Cause even while we were talking Right here where we stand They’re making plans for a four lane highway And a big old over pass [Chorus] It's time to get a gun That’s what I've been thinkin' I could afford one If I did just a little less drinkin' Time to put somethin' Between me and the sun When the talkin' is over It’s time to get a gun [Verse 3] Mary says she’s worried about herself and her kids She’s never known anybody who had a gun And her daddy never did But I think it should be up to me 'Cause when it’s all said and done Somebody’s got to walk into the night And I’m gonna be that one [Chorus] It's time to get a gun That’s what I've been thinkin' I could afford one If I did just a little less drinkin' Time to put somethin' Between me and the sun When the talkin' is over It’s time to get a gun [Outro] When the party is over It’s time to get a gun
