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 say?s she?s going to lock the door
From now on when we go away
I?ve been walking 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 and the sun
When the talking is over
It?s time to get a gun

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 way highway
And a big old over pass

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 and the sun
When the talking is over
It?s time to get a gun

Mary says she?s worried about herself and her kids
She?s never known anybody who 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
And I?m going to be that one

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 and the sun
When the talking is over
It?s time to get a gun

When the party is over
It?s time to get a gun
