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
