My neighbor's car got stole last night, right out of his driveway
We heard the dogs a barking, we never paid 'em 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, that's what I'm 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 of my back door
He said I'm sorry about this, son, but it don't matter anymore
'Cause even while we're talking and right here where we stand
They're making plans for a four lane highway and a big old overpass
Time to get a gun, that's what I'm 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 the kids
She's 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 got to walk into that night
Well I'm going to be that one
Time to get a gun, that's what I'm 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
