Johnny Cash - Dont take your guns to town

A ^Ayoung cowboy named Billy Joe grew r^Eestless on the farm^A, a boy filled with wanderlust, who ^Ereally meant no^A harm. He ^Dchanged his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down. And his ^Amother cried as he walked out, "d^Don't take your gun^As to town, son. ^DLeave your guns at ^Ahome, Bill. Don't ^Dtake your guns to ^Atown." He ^Alaughed and kissed his mom and said, &quo^Et;your Billy Joe^A's a man. I can shoot as quick and straight as^E anybody can^A But I ^Dwouldn't shoot without a cause, I'd gun nobody down." But she ^Acried again as he rode away, "d^Don't take your gun^As to town, son. ^DLeave your guns at ^Ahome, Bill. Don't ^Dtake your guns to ^Atown." He ^Asang as on he rode, his ^Eguns hung at his hip^As. He rode into a cattle town, a^E smile upon his^A lips. He ^Dstopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down. But his ^Amother's words echoed again: "d^Don't take your gun^As to town, son. ^DLeave your guns at ^Ahome, Bill. Don't ^Dtake your guns to ^Atown." He ^Adrank his first strong liquor then to^E calm his shaking^A hand, and tried to tell himself at last he^E had become ^Aa man. A ^Ddusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down. And he ^Aheard again his mother's words: "d^Don't take your gun^As to town, son. ^DLeave your guns at ^Ahome, Bill. Don't t^Dake your guns to ^Atown." ^AFilled with rage the Billy Joe reached^E for his gun to^A Draw but the stranger drew his gun and fired bef^Eore he even saw^A. As ^DBilly Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round and ^Awondered at his final words: "d^Don't take your gun^As to town, son. ^DLeave your guns at home, Bill^A. Don't ^Dtake your guns to ^Atown."
