    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
