A cool September morning, waitin' on the pawn shop to let me in. |
|
$200 worth of summer yard mowin' that I just had to spend. |
|
I had my eye on two things, but I could only pick just one. |
|
A young man's first decision; is it a guitar or a gun? |
|
I can still hear daddy's voice say "now think about it son. |
|
One of these will last forever, and the other's just for fun. |
|
One can feed your family, and one will end you up in jail." |
|
And he seemed to know which one was which, but me, I couldn't tell. |
|
I could learn to shoot like Jesse James, out there on the run, |
|
or play guitar and be a Rolling Stone, now that just sounds like fun. |
|
A rock star or an outlaw, well either way I've won, |
|
when I walk out this door with a guitar or a gun. |
|
I've thought about it long and hard, as I held 'em in my hand, |
|
standin' at the crossroads, still deciding who I am. |
|
They're both just wood and metal. Six bullets or six strings? |
|
Whichever choice I make I'll leave here feeling like a king. |
|
Will I learn to shoot like Jesse James, out there on the run, |
|
or play guitar and be a rolling stone, now that just sounds like fun. |

A rock star or an outlaw, well either way I've won, |

With a guitar or a gun. |
