Time To Get A Gun

My neightbors car got stole 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 walking around this farm
wondering if it's time...

Time to get a gun.
Thats what I've been thinking.
I could afford one,
if I did just a little less drinking.

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 my back door.
He said i'm sorry to bother you maam'
it don't matter anymore
ause even while we were talking
right here where we stand,
they give plans for a four lane highway
and a big old overpass.

It's time to get a gun
thats what i've been thinking
I could afford one
if I did just a little less drinking.
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 her stuff and her kids.
Never known anybody 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 gotta walk into the night
and I'm gonna be that one.

It's time to get a gun
that's what I'm thinking.
I could afford one
if I did just a little less drinking.

Its time to put something
between me and the sun.
When the talking is over
its time to get a gun.
When the party is over
it's time to get a gun.
