Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns To Town

Johnny Cash

Don't Take Your Guns To Town

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

Chorus
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 your 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

Chorus
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

Chorus
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 he had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mothers words

Chorus
Don't take you2 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

Chorus
Don't take your guns to town son
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town

Mirror lyrics:

Don't take your guns to town
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town son
Chorus

And wondered at his final words
The crowd all gathered 'round
As Billy Joe fell to the floor
Before he even saw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired
Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
Filled with rage then

Don't take your guns to town
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take you2 guns to town son
Chorus

And he heard again his mothers words
A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And tried to tell himself he had become a man
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand

Don't take your guns to town
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town son
Chorus

But his mother's words echoed again
And laid his money down
He stopped and walked into a bar
A smile upon his lips
He rode into a cattle town
His guns hung at his hips
He sang a song as on he rode

Don't take your guns to town
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town son
Chorus

But she cried again as he rode away
I'd gun nobody down
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause
I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
And said your Billy Joe's a man
He laughed and kissed his mom

Don't take your guns to town
Leave your guns at home Bill
Don't take your guns to town son
Chorus

And his mother cried as he walked out
And combed his dark hair down
He changed his clothes and shined his boots
A boy filled with wonderlust who really meant no harm
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
