God & Guns

Last night I heard this politician

Talking 'bout his brand new mission

'Liked his plans, but they came undone

When he got around with God and guns

I don't know how he grew up

But it sure wasn't down at the hunting club

Cause if it was he'd understand

Just a little bit more about the working man

God and guns

Keep us strong

That's what this country

Was founded on

Well we might aswell give up and run

If we let them take our God and guns

Yeah, out here in my neck of the woods

Where God is great and guns are good

You really can't know that much about 'em

If you think we're better off without 'em

Well there was a time we ain't forgot

You could rest all night with the doors unlocked

But there ain't nobody safe no more

So you say your prayers and you thank the Lord

For that peacemaker

In the dresser drawer

God and guns (God and guns)

Keep us strong

That's what this country, Lord

Was founded on

Well we might aswell give up and run

If we let 'em take our God and guns

Yea we might aswell give up and run

If we let 'em take our God and guns!

Yeah

God and guns

Don't let 'em take

Don't you let 'em take

Don't let 'em take

Our God and guns

Oh, God and guns (God and guns)

Ye keep us strong

That's what this country, Lord

Was founded on

Well we might aswell give up and run

If we let 'em take our God and guns!
