<b>Time To Get A Gun</b> by <i>Fred Eaglemith</i><br />My neighbours car got stole last night

Right outside his driveway

We heard the dogs a' barking

We didn't pay 'em any mind

Mary say she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away

And I've been walkin' around this farm

Wondering if it's time

Time to get a gun

That's what I've been 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 the government man was there

When I walked out of my back door

He said I'm sorry to bother you son

But it don't matter anymore

'Cause even while we're talkin'

Right here where we stand

They're making plans for a four lane highway

And a big old overpass

Time to get a gun(Repeat chorus)

Mary says she's worried

About herself and the kids

She's never known anyone had a gun

And her Daddy never did

But I think it should be up to me

Because when it's all said and done

Someone's got to walk into the night

I might as well be that one

Time to get a gun (Repeat chorus)
