Time to Get a Gun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My neighbor’s car got stolen last night
Right out of his driveway
We heard the dogs barking
We never paid them any mind

And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door
From now on when we go away

I've been walkin' around this farm
Wonderin' if it’s time


[Chorus]
Time to get a gun
That’s what I've been thinkin'
I could afford one
If I did just a little less drinkin'

Time to put somethin'
Between me and the sun
When the talkin' is over
It’s time to get a gun

[Verse 2]
Last week a government man was there
When I walked out my back door
He said, "I’m sorry to bother you, ma’am"
It don’t matter anymore
'Cause even while we were talking
Right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four lane highway
And a big old over pass
[Outro]
When the party is over
It’s time to get a gun

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
