Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro.: | | | x 4

  My neighbor's car got stole last night right out of his driveway

 We heard the dogs barkin', and we never paid them any mind

 And Mary says she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go a- way

  I've been walkin' a- round this farm wonderin' if it's time

(Chorus)

 Time to get a gun, that's what I've been thinkin'

 I could af- ford one, if I did just a little less drinkin'

 Time to put somethin' between me and the sun

 When the talkin' 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 any- more

 'Cause even while we were talkin' right here where we stand

 They're makin' plans for a four lane highway and a big old over- pass"

Repeat Chorus

  Mary says she's worried a- bout herself and her kids

  Never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did

 Well, 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 gonna be that one

Repeat Chorus

(Tag)

 When the party is over, it's time to get a gun
