Lyrics provided by https://damnlyrics.com/ ---Don't Take Your Gun to Town--- --Nick Roes-- A homey named of Willie He grew restless in the hood He was glad ‘cause he was bad And he thought that was good. A young man filled with anger but he really meant no harm He left his crib his Moms cried out "Don't take your gun to town son Leave your gun at home please Don't take your gun to town" He laughed and kissed his Moms And said, "Your Willie is a man. And I can handle myself well As anybody can. But I’d never shoot without good cause I'd gun nobody down" She asked again as he walked out "Don't take your gun to town son Leave your gun at home please Don't take your gun to town" He sang a song and went along His gun tucked in is back Before he took the subway Smoked himself a little crack He stopped and walked into a bar And laid his money down He heard again his Moms’ words "Don't take your gun to town son Leave your gun at home Will Don't take your gun to town He started doing beers and shots To calm his shaking hand He tried to tell himself at last He had become a man But someone who he did not know Began to laugh him down And he heard again his Moms’ words "Don't take your gun to town son Leave your gun at home please Don't take your gun to town" And in a drunken rage He reached back for his gun to draw the stranger had a gun, too, fired Before he even saw And as he fell down on the floor a crowd gathered around And wondered at his final words "Don't take your gun to town son Leave your gun at home please Don't take your gun to town" Just like so many years ago And nothing's really changed On wild west or on city streets Just trying to make a name But still too young to know A gun cannot make you a man They never seem to heed the words "Don't take your guns to town boys Leave your guns at home, please Don't take your gun to town" Lyrics Submitted by AMCC
