Fred Eaglesmith - Time To Get A Gun lyrics

My neighbour's car got stole last night Right out of his driveway We heard the dogs a'barking We never paid 'em any mind Mary says she's gonna lock the door From now on when we go away And I've been walking around this farm Wonderin' 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 talking Right here where we stand They're making plans for a four lane highway And a big old overpa** 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 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 Somebody's got to walk into the night Well I'm gonna be that one Time to get a gun That's what I've been thinking I could afford one If I did 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 When the talking is over It's time to get a gun When the talking is over It's time to get a gun Time to get a gun
