[Verse]
A Bm
My neighbor’s car got stole last night
D A
Right out of his driveway
A Bm
We heard the dogs a'barking
D A
We never paid them any mind
A Bm
And Mary say’s she’s going to lock the door
D A
From now on when we go away
A Bm
I’ve been walking around this farm
D E
Wondering if it’s time
[Chorus]
A
Time to get a gun
Bm
That’s what I’ve been thinking
D
I could afford one
E
If I did just a little less drinking
A
Time to put something
Bm
Between me and the sun
D
When the talking is over
A
It’s time to get a gun
[Verse]
A Bm
Last week a government man was there
D A
When I walked out my back door
A Bm
He said I’m sorry to bother you son
D A
It don’t matter anymore
Bm
Cause even while we were talking
D A
Right here where we stand
Bm
They’re making plans for a four lane highway
D E
And a big old over pass
[Chorus]
A
Time to get a gun
Bm
That’s what I’ve been thinking
D
I could afford one
E
If I did just a little less drinking
A
Time to put something
Bm
Between me and the sun
D
When the talking is over
A
It’s time to get a gun
[Bridge]
Bm D A
Mary says she’s worried about herself and her kids
Bm D A
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Bm D
But I think it should be up to me cause when it’s all said and done
Bm D E
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night well I’m going to be that one
[Chorus]
A
Time to get a gun
Bm
That’s what I’ve been thinking
D
I could afford one

If I did just a little less drinking
