Johnny’s daddy was taking him fishing,when he was 8 years old
A little girl came through the front gate holding a fishing pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said we can’t leave her behind
Son I know you don’t 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 don’t go
Take any boy in the worldddd
But daddy pleaassseee….
Don’t take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl 10 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 too there won’t be any harmmm
~And Johnny said….
Take my money
Take my Credit cards
Here’s the watch that my grandpa gave me
Here’s they key to my car
Mr. give it a Whirrrlllll
But pleeeaaasssseee
Don’t take the girl
Same old boy
Same sweet girl
5 years down the road
There’s gonna be a little one and she… says it’s time to go
Dr. says the baby’s fine but you’ll have to leave
‘Cause his momma’ fadding fast anf 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 wooorrrrllldddd
But god pleasseee don’t take the girl
