"Gun Song" lyrics - THE LUMINEERS

THE LUMINEERS
"Gun Song"
(Jeremiah Fraites / Wesley Schultz)

I don't own a single gun
But if I did you'd be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don't own a single gun

I don't have a sweetheart yet
But if I did I'd break my neck
To please her, make her want to stay, in my arms she'd rest
But I don't have a sweetheart yet

I can't believe what I found in daddy's
Sock drawer, sock drawer today
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson
Holy, holy shit

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la

Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray, I'll be more than my father's son
But I don't own a single gun

La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la
