My neighbours 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 walkin' around this farm wondering 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 & the sun
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun
Last week a government man was there
Mary says she's worried about herself and 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 gotta walk into the night
Well I'm gonna be that one
