Don't Take The Girl Lyrics

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing
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 cant leave her behind
Son I know you dont 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 dont 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 wont be any harm
And Johnny said take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Said here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here's the key to my carBrian Littrell - Don't Take The Girl - http://motolyrics.com/brian-littrell/dont-take-the-girl-lyrics.html
Mister give it a whirl
But please dont 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 dont take the girl

Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
