Gun in Every Home (Nebraska Outtakes)

I had a dream of the way I thought it should be
So I moved to the suburbs, yeah, just me and my family
On the block I live, you got everything that a man would need to own
Two cars in each garage and a gun in every home

Now sometimes I gotta go away, and I know for a long time I'll be gone
Well, I get so afraid of leaving my baby all alone
I keep a secret in a dresser drawer of our bright little house where the lawn's fresh mown
Two cars in each garage and a gun in every home

Sometimes I wanna take my little boy and hold him in my arms
Shield him from all pain, protect him from all harm
From a world gone crazy now, from a world that's gone all wrong
But I don't know what to do, no, I don't know what to do

Some nights I put my baby to bed and I shut out all the lights
I sit downstairs in the living room and I listen to the sounds of the night
I stare out my window onto a street so empty and alone
Filled with two cars in each garage and a gun in every home
And I don't know what to do, no, I don't know what to do
