[00:00.00] JOHNNY CASH LYRICS
[00:04.06]
[00:06.09] "Don't Take Your Guns To Town"
[00:06.62]
[00:07.52] A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
[00:11.86] A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
[00:16.66] He changed his clothes and shined his boots
[00:19.86] And combed his dark hair down
[00:21.92] And his mother cried as he walked out
[00:24.33]
[00:25.81] Don't take your guns to town son
[00:27.94] Leave your guns at home Bill
[00:30.50] Don't take your guns to town
[00:36.38]
[00:37.23] He laughed and kissed his mom
[00:41.62] And said your Billy Joe's a man
[00:43.87] I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
[00:47.71] But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
[00:52.77] I'd gun nobody down
[00:54.82] But she cried again as he rode away
[00:58.74]
[00:59.63] Don't take your guns to town son
[01:03.05] Leave your guns at home Bill
[01:05.45] Don't take your guns to town
[01:10.57]
[01:13.21] He sang a song as on he rode
[01:17.29] His guns hung at his hips
[01:19.00] He rode into a cattle town
[01:22.37] A smile upon his lips
[01:25.16] He stopped and walked into a bar
[01:27.70] And laid his money down
[01:30.03] But his mother's words echoed again
[01:33.69]
[01:34.98] Don't take your guns to town son
[01:38.57] Leave your guns at home Bill
[01:40.93] Don't take your guns to town
[01:46.16]
[01:48.36] He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
[01:51.95] And tried to tell himself he had become a man
[01:59.27] A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
[02:05.02] And he heard again his mothers words
[02:08.83]
[02:09.67] Don't take your guns to town son
[02:13.35] Leave your guns at home Bill
[02:16.23] Don't take your guns to town
[02:20.43]
[02:22.39] Filled with rage then
[02:26.12] Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
[02:28.94] But the stranger drew his gun and fired
[02:33.13] Before he even saw
[02:34.35] As Billy Joe fell to the floor
[02:38.48] The crowd all gathered 'round
[02:40.50] And wondered at his final words
[02:43.78]
[02:44.52] Don't take your guns to town son
[02:47.91] Leave your guns at home Bill
[02:51.25] Don't take your guns to town
[02:55.35]
[03:02.31] -----END-----
