The international country all-stars - Don't take the girl lyrics

Johnnys daddy was takin' him fishin When he was eight years old A little girl came through the front gate Holdin a fishin' pole His dad looked down and smiled Said, "We can't leave her behind Son, I know you dont want her to go But someday youll 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 dont go Take any boy in the world Daddy please, dont 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" "Heres the watch that my grandpa gave me Heres the key to my car Mister, give it a whirl But please dont take the girl" Same old boy, same sweet girl Five years down the road Theres gonna be a little one And she says its time to go Doctor says "The babys fine But youll have to leave Cause his mommas Fading fast" And Johnny hit his knees And there he prayed "Take the very breath You gave me Take the heart from my chest" "Ill gladly take her place if Youll let me Make this my last request Take me out of this world God, please dont take the girl" Johnnys daddy Was takin' him fishin When he was eight years old
