Don’t Forget The Guns (a.k.a The Nelson’s Ride Along)
Words And Music By
Cheryl Wheeler
Now let’s get the kids and pack up the car
Take that vacation we’ve been waiting for
Drive across this country leave our worries far behind
Singin’ four-part harmony to “Sweet Adeline”
`Cause I got these books and maps from Triple “A”
We’ll visit friends and sites along the way
So bring the bikes and toys and diapers
Pay the neighbor’s son
And call to stop the mail and, Honey,
Don’t forget the guns
(Chorus)
Now don’t forget the guns you know exactly what I mean
Bring the pistols, bring the Uzi and the old AR-15
We don’t look for trouble but by golly if we’re in it
It’s nice to know we’re free to blow nine hundred rounds a minute
We’ll head for Chicago, stop for the night
Hope for good weather hope the kids don’t fight
They’ve never seen mt. Rushmore and they ought to understand
The kind of men who forged our freedom all across this land
We’ll hike up a trail and ride down a street
Stand by Old Faithful and watch her blow off steam
When we pack picnic lunches that’s not all we’ll bring along
`Cause we’ll be packing 45’s case anything goes wrong
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh riding along we’ll follow the signs
Over the mountains under the pines
Up to Boot Hill where they got what they gave
In the land of the free you’ve got to be brave
(Repeat Chorus)

Don’t Take Your Guns to Town by Johnny Cash
Headed home, fatima....then I can help. ((HUGS))
Blow You Away Robert Earl Keen:
You take off from work a bit early
The boss doesn’t care if you stay
The guard with the key has to check your ID
But he’d just as soon blow you away
The cops have stopped ten miles of traffic
They’re sorry for all the delay
No need for alarm as they’re waving their arms
But they’d just as soon blow you away
Two pretty blondes in a Porsche
Their bumper says “We Love LA”
They look pretty fair, but they’re crazy out there,
And they’d just as soon blow you away
You got in some trouble in high school
But you feel like a new man today
You keep to yourself because anyone else
Would just as soon blow you away
You’re standin’ in front of the teller
She’s countin’out all of your pay
There’s twenties and ones and there’s guards with their guns
And they’d just as soon blow you away
And one old ex con at the station
Fixes flats in the back of the bay
He winks and he jokes and he borrows a smoke
But he’d just as soon blow you away
You like the new girl at the hotel
She drops your room key in the tray
No words will pass through the bullet proof glass
‘Cause she’d just as soon blow you away
You climb up the stairs every evening
to your room right above the cafe
There ain’t much mystique, but you pay every week
‘Cause they’d just as soon blow you away
And You turn out the light that you read by
You pray that you’re one of the few
When you’re in with the lord there’s just one reward
And they’d just as soon make it come true
Your mattress is mildewed and lumpy
But you fall fast asleep where you lay
Under the lump there’s a twenty gauge pump
‘Cause they’d just as soon blow you away
LAWYERS, GUNS AND MONEY”

Lachlan Macquarie, governor of New South Wales from 18101821, had a way of making everyone feel included in the new colony. When the exclusives (free settlers, civil servants, and military officers) shunned the society of the emancipists (transported convicts given conditional or absolute pardon), Governor Macquarie insisted that they be treated as social equals.
Jesus showed interest in Zacchaeus, a shunned tax collector in Jericho, and included him in the recipients of His salvation plan (Luke 19:1-10). A marginalized and hated man because of his profession, Zacchaeus was desperate to see Jesus and climbed a tree to get a glimpse of Him. When Jesus passed by, He saw Zacchaeus desire and told him to come down because he had a divine appointment at his house. Some complained that Jesus was spending time with a sinner. His loving attention changed Zacchaeus life. He repented and offered restitution for those he had defrauded. Salvation had come to his house.
Jesus mission was simple: Diligently search for lost people, whatever their social standing, and offer them Gods salvation plan. As followers of Christ, we too have that as our mission.
Read: Luke 19:1-10
If my gun don’t take your evil life
You can bet my bowie knife will

MY FATHER’S GUN
By Elton John/ Bernie Taupin
From : Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
From this day on I own my father’s gun
We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun
I laid his broken body down below the southern land
It wouldn’t do to bury him where any Yankee stands
I’ll take my horse and I’ll ride the northern plain
To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again
I’ll not rest until I know the cause is fought and won
From this day on until I die I’ll wear my father’s gun
I’d like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that’s just fine alright
‘Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend
As soon as this is over we’ll go home
To plant the seeds of justice in our bones
To watch the children growing and see the women sewing
There’ll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring
I’d like to know where the riverboat sails tonight
To New Orleans well that’s just fine alright
‘Cause there’s fighting there and the company needs men
So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

WHERE TO NOW, St. Peter? from the same Album (the blue canoe across the River Styx, sent there by a foreign gun):

WHERE TO NOW ST. PETER?
Elton John
Tumbleweed Connection (1970)
I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf.
Dazzling dancing, half enchanted
In my merlin sleep.
Crazy was the feeling,
Restless were my eyes.
Insane they took the paddles.
My arms they paralyzed.
So where to now St. Peter,
If it’s true I’m in your hands?
I may not be a Christian,
But I’ve done all that one man can.
I understand I’m on the road
Where all that WAS is gone.
So where to now St. Peter?
Show me which road I’m on;
Which road I’m on.
I took a sweet young foreign gun.
This lazy life is short.
Something for nothing always ended
With a bad report.
Dirty was the day break,
Sudden was the change,
In such a silent place as this
Beyond the rifle range.
So where to now St. Peter,
If it’s true I’m in your hands?
I may not be a Christian,
But I’ve done all one man can.
I understand I’m on the road
Where all that was is gone.
So where to now St. Peter?
Show me which road I’m on;
Which road I’m on.
I took myself a blue canoe.

And...
I Didn’t Know The Gun Was Loaded
Hank Fort & Herb Leighton 1949
LYRICS ONLY
Oh Miss Effie was her name
Through the west she won her fame
Being handy with the gun
But she drove the men insane
Cause she’d whip out her pistol
And shoot most any guy
And sing out this alibi
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’m so sorry my friend
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’ll never, never do it again
But one night she made a slip
Shot the sheriff in the hip
So the law it took a hand
And made Effie take the stand
And she pled, ‘oh your honor
I’ll know you turn me loose
When you hear my one excuse’
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’m so sorry my friend
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’ll never, never do it again
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
But regarding the gun that I toted
All I did was hold it high and go ...
BANG, PING, HUHH, ZSSS
I’ll never, never do it again
INSTRUMENTAL
Yes the jury all agreed
That Miss Effie should be freed
But the sheriff’s jealous wife
Was indignant (yes, indeed)
So she borrowed a pistol
And shot this village belle
And sang as Miss Effie fell
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’m so sorry my friend
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
And I’ll never, never do it again
I didn’t know the gun was loaded
But regarding the gun that I toted
All I did was hold it high and go ...
BANG, PING, HUHH, ZSSS
I’ll never, never do it again
BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS by JOHNY HORTON
In 1814 took a little trip...
Gonna get me a gun and shoot all the whiteys I see,
Gonna get me a gun and shoot all the whiteys I see,
Gonna shoot all the whiteys I see,
So maybe they won’t bother me,
Gonna get me a gun and shoot all the whiteys I see!
