God And Guns

(album: It's About Time - 2016)

Last night I heard this politician
Talking 'bout his brand new mission
Liked his plans but they came undone
When it got around to God and guns

Well I don't know how he grew up
But it sure wasn't down at the hunting club
'Cause if it was he'd understand
Just a little bit more about the working man

God and guns
Keep us strong
That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God and guns
That ain't gonna happen

Out here in my neck of the woods
Where God is great and guns are good
You really can't know that much about 'em
If you think we're better off without 'em

There was a time we ain't forgot
You could rest all night with your doors unlocked
But there ain't nobody safe no more
So you say your prayers and you thank the Lord
For that peace maker '38 in the dresser drawer

God and guns
Keep us strong
(Keep us strong)
That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God and our guns
Yeah, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God and guns
That ain't happening baby

Got a shotgun rifle and a four wheel drive
God and guns
A country boy can survive
Don't let 'em take
Don't you let 'em take
Don't let 'em take
Our God and guns

God and guns, yeah, keep us strong
That's what this country was founded on
Well, we might as well give up and run
If we let 'em take our God and guns
I don't think so
