Everybody's Carrying a Gun

Oh, I like to fly, but I stick close to the ground

If I get too high, somebody always wants to shoot me down

There used to be a time when you could get your fun

Didn't have to watch yourself with anyone

But it seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun

Oh, I had a girl, just as fine as she could be

I thought that girl would never love no one but me

She looked like an angel, she was so young

I told myself that child could never hurt no one

Seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun

I just wanna warn you

If you go walkin' around

Step 'round any corner

You might hear that sound

Well, I shake your hand and say how do you do

You've got to understand if I don't want to talk to you

Too many people out in the sun sun sun

Cut you if you stand, shoot you if you run

Seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun
