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
