about

BOYS LIFE

lyrics

If I Only Had A Gun
On Beebe Hill with our pads and pens
And the crazy world made for ourselves
The bullies came and crushed our dream
If I Had A Gun
I’d shoot someone
Last train home almost all alone
The boy can’t control his violent side
As he terrorized his lovely bride
If I Had A Gun
I’d kill someone
I am the poster child for gun control ya see
Why can’t you leave me alone
Why can’t you just let it be
I dropped the phone grabbed my keys
There’s someone there who isn’t me
I watched you kiss then I lost it
If I Had A Gun I’d shoot someone
I am someone and the wars not one
If I Had A Gun I’d shoot someone
One thing that I discovered
I’ll never have another
Holding her makes me feel free
We’re going on a killing spree
I can do whatever I want to
I can be whoever I want to be
I can see whatever I want to
Out of this world Out of this body
