G                              A5                  C5                            G5 
My neighbours car got stole last night right  out of his driveway 
                               A5                        C5                    G5 
We heard the dogs a barking we never  paid  'em any mind 
                                   A5                                   C5                        G5 
Mary says she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away 
                                A5                         C5                    D5                  
And I've been walkin' around this farm wondering if it's time... 


D5                 G5                                       A5 
Time to get a gun that's what I've been thinking 
               C5                              D5 
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinking 
                     G5                                          A5 
Time to put something between me & the sun 
                             C5                                    
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 ya son 

But it don't matter anymore 

Cause even while we're talking 

right here where we stand 

we're making plans for a 4-lane highway 

and a big old overpass 
 
bridge

Mary says she's worried about herself and kids 
         D5 
She's never known anybody had a gun  
             C5 
and her daddy never did 
      D5 
But I think it should be up to me  
                          C5 
'Cause when it's all said and done 
D5 
Somebody's gotta walk into the night 
        C5                         D5 
Well I'm gonna be that one
