Lyrics for DONT TAKE YOUR GUNS TO TOWN by Johnny Cash:
| | | Artist: | Johnny Cash |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | DONT TAKE YOUR GUNS TO TOWN | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 70 | | | | Lyrics: | A young cowboy named Billy Joe
grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with
wonderlust
who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
and
combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked out
Don't take your guns to
town, son
leave your guns at home, Bill
don't take your guns to town
He laughed and
kissed his mom and said
you're Billy Joe's a man
I can shoot as quick and straight
as
anybody can
But, I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I'd gun nobody down
But she cried
again as he rode away
Don't take your guns to town, son
leave your guns at home,
Bill
don't take your guns to town.
He sang a song as on he rode
his guns hung at
his hips
he rode into a cattle town
a smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a
bar
and laid his money down
but his mother's words echoed again
don't take your guns to
town, son
leave your guns at home, Bill
don't take your guns to town.
He drank his
first strong liquor
then to calm his shaking hand
and tried to tell himself at last
he
had become a man
a dusty cowpoke at his
began to laugh him down
and he heard again his
mother's words
don't take your guns to town, son
leave your guns at home, Bill
don't
take your guns to town.
Filled with rage then Billy Joe
reached for his gun to
draw
but the stranger drew his gun and fired
before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the
floor
the crowd all gathered round
and wondered at his final words
don't take your guns
to town, son
leave your guns at home, Bill
don't take your guns to town. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
