Lyrics
Well, they're gonna have to pry this old .45
from my cold blue fingers,
cause I'm a dead ringer
for some good old urban appalachian homicide.
Cause they can take all that I own, that I hold dear,
My wife, my kids, my truck, and all my beer,
They're gonna leave this gun behind
Don't Take, Don't Take, My gun away from me,
It's the only thing that's within my reach.
Lord, it's the only thing that's true.
Don't take, Don't take, My gun away from me,
If there's one thing in the world I need,
It's a world that I can shoot.
And when they find me in the middle of that bloody little scene,
They're gonna find a man who's finally,
finally found his own special place in History,
there gonna find a man who's free.
Cause the plan's of God ain't about the ambitions of man,
Though the cities may rise and fall, and rise and fall, and rise and fall again,
to me and my kin it ain't worth a damn.
Don't take, don't take, my gun away from me.
It's the only thing that's within my reach,
Lordy it's the only thing that's true.
Don't take, don't take, my gun away from me.
If there's one thing in the world I need,
it's a world that I can shoot.
Now, I don't expect that you'll understand where I am.
This ain't no suicidal ideation, more of a spiritual revelation, powerful enough to make you stand up and die.
Cause there are so many things that can be seen,
and Even more that can't be seen,
All I know is I've found something that's somewhere in between.
Don't take, don't take, my gun away from me.
It's the only thing that's within my reach,
Lordy it's the only thing that's true.
Don't take, don't take, my gun away from me.
If there's one thing in the world I need,
it's a world that I can shoot.
