My neighbors car got stolen last night
Right out of his driveway
We heard the dogs barking
We never paid them any mind
And Mary says shes going to lock the door
From now on when we go away
Ive been walking around this farm
Wondering if its time
Time to get a gun
Thats what Ive 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
Its time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
When I walked out my back door
He said Im sorry to bother you maam
It dont matter anymore
Cause even while we were talking
Right here where we stand
Theyre making plans for a four way highway
And a big old over pa**
Time to get a gun
Thats what Ive 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
Its time to get a gun
Mary says shes worried about herself and her kids
Shes never known anybody who had a gun
And her daddy never did
But I think it should be up to me
Cause when its all said and done
Somebodys gotta walk into the night
And Im going to be that one
Time to get a gun
Thats what Ive 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
Its time to get a gun
When the party is over
Its time to get a gun
