DON'T TAKE THE GIRL

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin' 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
