Don't Take The Girl歌词

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
A 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 mind
And 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 road
He 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 go
Doctor 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 fishing
When he was eight years old
