Gun Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't own a single gun
But if I did, you'd be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don't own a single gun
And I don't have a sweetheart yet
But if I did, I'd break my neck
To please her, make her wanna stay, in my arms she'd rest
But I don't have a sweetheart yet
I can't believe what I found in daddy's sock drawer
Sock drawer today
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson
Holy, holy shit
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
(One, two, one, two, three)
Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray , I'll be more than my father's son
But I don't own a single gun
