I was young when I got married, young when we had kids
G C
Young when mom got sick and moved in
G
Dads gone, to that cancer song
G
Before my dad died, he left me his .22
G C
A winchester rifle, it was his dads to
G
Now its mine, my how time flies

I pay our rent by cleaning, the offices in town
G C
We live on a bad side, where the police donâ??t come round
G
It aint safe, but I canâ??t move us out
G
The bills they stack up, in the mailbox outside
G C
Mostly from hospital, from before dad died
G
And the rest were past due and shutoff dates
G
Well the new guy on the job, talked me in on my way down
G C
We go half on some weight, I pay some bills we both get out
G
Heâ??d front it too, what would you do
G
I started selling to some old friends, gave some to granny Ruth.

Sheâ??s sick with cancer, same as dads it helps her through
G
I paid some bills off, was getting out
G
Then I hear this crashing, outside my house
G
These men came running at my maw maw, running at my wife
G C
my daughter started screaming, I feared for their life
G
weapon drawn, I had not known
G
The men who tore off my lock, and broken down my door
G C
And threatened my family, were officers of the law
G
Darkened rooms, how could I have known
G
Such a terror, inside my home
G
Nine years to twenty, what have I done
G C
Nine years to twenty, intent and a gun
G
To my family, what have I done
G
For my family, what have I done
G
Before my dad died, he left me his 22
G C
Look over your family son, do what you need to
G
Dadâ??s gone, now Iâ??m solid gone
G D G
But we always done, what needed to be done.
