Lisa Angelle - Daddy's Gun lyrics

rate me

Johnny learned to shoot when he was eight

His daddy hit him hard when he didn't shoot straight

His daddy would be proud to know

Today his son will not shoot low

Johnny's gonna hit just where he aims

Johnny borrowed his daddy's gun today

Johnny's been through hell in twelve short years

When he screams there's no one to hear

"Daddy please, Oh Daddy don't-

Daddy please let Mama go'

He sits inside the front door and he waits

Johnny borrowed his daddy's gun today

chorus

And he cries like he's six years old again

And he dreams that he's "daddy's little man"

He reasons in his mind somewhere

Someday they will meet up there

In heaven daddy's always care

And mama's tears will all be washed away

Johnny borrowed his daddy's gun today

Johnny's mama is sleeping in her room

Johnny knows his dad is gonna be home soon

His little hands are shaking bad

He's praying "Lord, let this cup pass"

But the cat's in the cradle with a 10-gauge in his hand

Johnny's takin all that he can stand

repeat chorus

Johnny borrowed his daddy's gun today

This time the bad man will not get away
