My neighbour's car got stole last night right out of his driveway.
We heard the dogs a-barking, we never paid them any mind.
And Mary says she's going to lock the door from now on when we go away
	A	Bm	D	E
And I've been walking around this farm wondering if it's time,

Chorus:
	A	Bm
Time to get a gun, that's what I been thinking. 
	D	E 
I could afford one if I did a little less drinking.
	A	Bm
It's time to put something between me and the sun.
	D	A
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, son, but it don't matter anymore.
'Cause even while we're talking, well, right here where we stand,
They're making plans for a four-lane highway and a big old overpass.

(Chorus)

Mary says she's worried about herself and the kids
She's never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did.
But I think it should be up to me, 'cause when it's all said and done
E	A	E
Somebody's got to walk into the night, well I'm going to be that one.

(Chorus)
