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 'bout 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 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

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 'bout 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, run along and have some fun

I'll see you when you get back

Probably 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, man it works

Yeah, come on in, boy, sit on down

And tell me 'bout 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 some fun

And I'll see you when you get back

Probably be up all night

Still cleanin' this gun

Ah, son, now y'all buckle up and have her back by ten

Uh, let's say about 9:30

Drive safe
