Don't Take The Girl
This is the first in my new oneshots.
Eddie's
Dad was taking him fishin
When he was sixteen years old
A
pretty girl came through the front gate holdin 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
Edward said take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best
friend Beau
Take anybody that you want as long as she dont go
Take
anyone in the world
Dad please dont take the girl
Same
old boy
Same girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight
and kissed her head
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 Edward 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 girl
Five years down the road
Theres going to
be a little one and she says its time to go
Doctor says the babys
fine but you'll have to leave
Cause the momma's fading fast and
Edward 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
