Time to Get a Gun Cover by Steve Lee Lyrics

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
