~~Don't Take The Girl~~
~~~~DON'T TAKE THE GIRL~~~~
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'When he was eight years oldA little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave
her behind...Son, I know you don't want her to go but someday you'll change your mindAnd Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo...Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go, take any boy in the world.... Daddy, please don't take the girl
Same old boy, Same sweet girl, Ten years down the roadHe held her tight and kissed her lips, In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun, grabbed her by the arm
Said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards...Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me, Here's the key to my car....Mister give it a whirl...But please don't take the girl
Same old boy, Same sweet girl, Five years down the road
There's going to be a little one, and she says it's time to goDoctor says the baby's fine....but you'll have to leave 'Cause his momma's fading fast and Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed Take the very breath you gave me....Take the heart from my chest...I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me
Make this my last request... Take me out of this world... God, please don't take the girl
Johnny's daddy...Was taking him fishin' When he was eight years old
