Gun To My Head

[Verse 1]

Lookin' out on the hardwood hollers and hills (Hollers and hills)

Every day's a good day to be alive (Be alive)

Lost in the song from a whippoorwill (Will)

Stars pokin' holes through an amber sky (Amber sky)

[Pre-Chorus]

They say the lights in New York shine pretty

You outta see 'em 'fore they lay you down

But I know God didn't make no city

Me and Him got a deal worked out

[Chorus]

So you can put a gun to my head, throw me to the ground

Say, "Take your last breath, or leave right now"

Just climb on up in this Cadillac

Wave goodbye and don't ever look back

You can put that cold Colt .45 steel to my temple

Draw a hard line, but man, it's real simple

This born in it boy wouldn't give up the country with a gun to my head

Over my dead body (Over my dead body)

Yeah, over my dead body (Over my dead body)

[Verse 2]

My old man didn't break his back

For me to throw my hands up and throw it away

I don't think that I could ever live with that

Four generations rollin' over in their grave

[Chorus]

So you can put a gun to my head, throw me to the ground

Say, "Take your last breath, or leave right now"

Just climb on up in this Cadillac

Wave goodbye and don't ever look back

You can put that cold Colt .45 steel to my temple

Draw a hard line, but man, it's real simple

This born in it boy wouldn't give up the country with a gun to my head

Over my dead body

Over my dead body

[Bridge]

The only way I'm goin'

Is in boots in the back of a hearse

Yeah, you can come and get it, but you'll have to put me in it

'Fore you take me out of that dirt

[Chorus]

You can put a gun to my head, throw me to the ground

Say, "Take your last breath, or leave right now"

Just climb on up in this Cadillac

Wave goodbye and don't ever look back

You can put that cold Colt .45 steel to my temple

Draw a hard line, but man, it's real simple

This born in it boy wouldn't give up the country with a gun to my head

Over my dead body (Over my dead body)

Over my dead body (Over my dead body)
