Lyrics
Don’t Take My Gun
A long time ago,
when things where harsh and tough
Johnny had a flintlock, said it was enough
His daddy fought the front lines, saved this holy ground
When they asked where his daddy is,
He said, "he's in the ground."
Now I have his gun..
.
Johnny robbed a train car, said, "hold your hands up high!"
"If I see one nervous twitch one a you's going to die"
Now Johnny's rich and running a hapless kid is gone
He said, "I never meant to hurt no one,
please just don't take my gun"
Don't take my gun, don't take me gun
Saved up his wages from working
to buy a small side arm
Johnny needed protection from someone who meant him harm
He got in a little showdown, He shouldn't even drawn
He said, "I never meant to hurt no one, please just don't take my gun"
Don't take my gun, don't take me gun
Out of the back of the car, at the local pawn, at the weekend expo show
On a dark back alley, east side of town, just cough up your dough
Hidden from public eye, a dark-net buy, shows up in the mail
The only way you're going to take it is if he's dead or going to jail
Johnny is always getting bullied, someone's pushing Johnny around
Someone's going to take it too far and Johnny is going to come unwound
He's going to show you who he is, make his stance in the sun
You know he really means to hurt someone
but he still, he still had his gun
He still has his
He still has his
