Tim Mcgraw - Please Don't Take The Girl lyrics

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was 8 years old A little girl came through the front gate, holding a fishing pole His dad looked down and smiled, he said, "We can't leave her behind Son, I know you don't want her to go, but someday you'll change your mind" And Johnny said Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thomson Take my best friend Bo, take anybody that you want As long as she don't go, take any boy in the world Daddy please don't take the girl Same old boy, same sweet girl, 10 years down the road He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show Stranger came and pulled a gun, grabbed her by the arm Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm" And Johnny said Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me Here's the key to my car, Mister, give it a whirl But please don't take the girl Same old boy, same sweet girl, 5 years down the road There's going to be a little one and she says, "It's time to go" The doctor says, "The baby's fine but you'll have to leave" 'Cause his mommas fading fast and Johnny hit his knees And there he rayed Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me Make this my last request, take me out of this world God please don't take the girl Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing when he was 8 years old
