  • My neighbor's car got stole last night right out of his driveway
    We heard the dog '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 been thinkin'
    I could afford one, if I did just a little less drinkin'
    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 to bother you ma'am' it don't matter anymore
    'Cause even while we're talking right here where we stand
    They're making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass

    It's time to get a gun, that's what I been thinkin'
    I could afford one, if I did just a little less drinkin'
    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 her kids
    Never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
    Well I think it should be up to me 'cause when it's all said and done
    Somebody's gotta walk into the night and I'm gonna be that one

    It's time to get a gun, that's what I been thinkin'
    I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin'
    It's time to put something between me and the sun
    When the talking is over, it's time to get a gun

    When the party is over it's time to get a gun Publisher: O/B/O CAPASSO
