Cleaning This Gun (Come On In Boy)

The declaration of independence

Think I can tell you that first sentence

But then I'm lost

I can't begin to count the theories

I've had pounded in my head that I forgot

I don't remember all that Spanish

Or the Gettysburg Address

But there is one speech from high school

I'll never forget

Come on in, boy, sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter, do you now?

Yeah, we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl, her mama's world

She deserves respect, that's what she'll get

Ain't it son?

Now y'all run along and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Bet I'll be up all night

Still cleaning this gun

Well, now that I'm a father

I'm scared to death, one day my daughter

Is gonna find

That teenage boy I used to be

That seems to have just one thing on his mind

She's growing up so fast

It won't be long before

Yeah, I'll have to put the fear of God

Into some kid at the door

Yeah, come on in, boy, sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter, do you now?

Yeah, we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl, her mama's world

She deserves respect, that's what she'll get

Now ain't it son?

Now y'all go out and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Probably be up all night

Still cleaning this gun

Now it's all for show

Ain't nobody gonna get hurt

It's just a daddy thing

And hey, believe me, man, it works

Yeah, come on in, boy, sit on down

And tell me about yourself

So you like my daughter, do you now?

Yeah, we think she's something else

She's her daddy's girl, her mama's world

She deserves respect, that's what she'll get

Ain't it son?

Y'all run along and have a little fun

I'll see you when you get back

Probably be up all night

Still cleaning this gun
