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 say’s she’s going to 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 That’s 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 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 way highway And a big old over pass Time to get a gun That’s 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 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 gotta walk into the night And I’m going to be that one Time to get a gun That’s 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 When the party is over It’s time to get a gun
