The Gun

VERSE 1

Lots of stories about me

Some good and some bad

I fought in three wars

And I even made it back

I put food on the table

Through harsh winter cold

I even helped a miner protect his hard earned gold

I've been hanging over warm lit fires

I've been abandoned

Left out in the cold

I have killed for money and desire

I’ve been bought, stolen, and sold

CHORUS

And if a soldier ever falls behind

I’m left crying out twenty-one times

I ain't to blame

Lord, I ain't the one

Always remember I’m just a gun

Always remember I’m just a gun

VERSE 2

I’ve been handed down from a father to a son

Been a hero in movies

And a villain in some

I’ve even got my own amendment you see

I’m only second to the freedom of speech

CHORUS

And if a soldier ever falls behind

I’m left crying out twenty-one times

I ain't to blame

Lord, I ain't the one

Always remember I’m just a gun

Always remember I’m just a gun

VERSE 3

I have no religion

And I don't choose sides

But if it wasn’t for me, there’d be no fourth of July

And I can’t judge whose wrong or right

I’ll leave that in your hands

For you to decide

Always remember that I’m just a gun

America remember that I’m just a gun
