Story Behind the Song
Dedicated to and inspired by the many families who have lost loved ones because a child found a parent's gun.
Lyrics
My brother had a beebee gun, he shot it in the yard
He hit a neighbor kid, it left a little scar
Mama got angry and took the gun back
Now he's headed for the bedroom and daddy's gun rack
Mama come quick, Bobby's got Daddy's gun
Mama come quick, he says he's only having fun
Mama come quick
He waves it around like his heroes on TV
He's laughing loud as he points the gun at me
I tell him not to do it but then I hear a click
I don't feel a bullet, still I feel sick
Mama come quick, Bobby's got Daddy's gun
Mama come quick, he says he's only having fun
Mama come quick
When I go to sleep I hear the click in my head
If he'd found the bullets I know that I'd be dead
He was only playin', still I cry real hard
I call for Mama in my dreams, she's always too far
Mama come quick, Bobby's got Daddy's gun
Mama come quick, he says he's only having fun
