Cleaning This Gun (Come On in Boy)

The Declaration of Independence

Think I could 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?

Hey, y'all, run along and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Bet I'll be up all night

Still cleanin' 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 growin' up so fast

It won't be long before

I'll have to put the fear of God into

Some kid at the door

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?

Hey, y'all, run along and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Bet I'll be up all night

Still cleanin' this gun

Now it's all for show

Ain't nobody gonna get hurt

It's just a daddy thing

And, hey, believe me, it works

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
