Songfacts®:

  • On this cover of a song by Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith, Lambert continues to live up to her image of a crazy gun-toting firecracker. She said: "I've known that song for a while. And it's not at secret that I like guns, and that I am a redneck girl. That song is so fitting for the times, and it's political—but not really. I don't ever want to use my platform for politics. We all come together through music, so it's best to leave those opinions at home. 'Time to Get a Gun' to me is just a cool, straight ahead song—and it's also fun. He's talking about partying, and maybe he'd be able to afford his gun if he didn't drink as much. I was just insistent on cutting it. It really sounds like me and sounds like my life."
