Drive-By Truckers - Ray’s Automatic Weapon lyrics

I got to tell you You got to take that gun back Cuz these things that I been shooting at are getting all too real Don't want to hurt nobody, but I keep on aiming closer Don't think that I can keep it feeling like I feel Ray I know I told you That I'd keep it for you I know I said I trusted me with it more than you But something happened last night that made me reconsider I need you to drive out here and relieve me of it too I figured after forty years, I wouldn't still be having nightmares You'd think that now that we're older, that war would finally be over Ray, I'm in my sixties and the nights ain't getting shorter Only my patience and checkbook and fuse Ray I got to tell you You got to come take that gun back Cuz these things that I been shooting at are getting all too real
