My neighbours car got stole last night
Right outside his driveway
We heard the dogs a' barking
We didn't pay 'em any mind
Mary say she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
And I've been walkin' 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 the government man was there
When I walked out of my back door
He said I'm sorry to bother you son
But it don't matter anymore
'Cause even while we're talkin'
Right here where we stand
They're making plans for a four lane highway
And a big old overpass
Time to get a gun(Repeat chorus)
Mary says she's worried
About herself and the kids
She's never known anyone had a gun
And her Daddy never did
But I think it should be up to me
Because when it's all said and done
Someone's got to walk into the night
I might as well be that one
Time to get a gun (Repeat chorus)
