Tim McGraw - Don't Take The Girl Lyrics
(craig martin/larry w. johnson)(track 8 - time 4:09)Johnnys daddy was taking him fishinWhen he was eight years oldA little girl came through the front gate holdin a fishing poleHis dad looked down and smiled, said we cant leave her behindSon I know you dont want her to go but someday youll change your mindAnd johnny said take jimmy johnson, take tommy thompson, take my best friend boTake anybody that you want as long as she dont goTake any boy in the worldDaddy please dont take the girlSame old boySame sweet girlTen years down the roadHe held her tight and kissed her lipsIn front of the picture showStranger came and pulled a gunGrabbed her by the arm said if you do what I tell you to, there wont be any harmAnd johnny said take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cardsHeres the watch that my grandpa gave meHeres the key to my carMister give it a whirlBut please dont take the girlSame old boySame sweet girlFive years down the roadTheres going to be a little one and she says its time to goDoctor says the babys fine but youll have to leavecause his mommas fading fast and johnny hit his knees and there he prayedTake the very breath you gave meTake the heart from my chestIll gladly take her place if youll let meMake this my last requestTake me out of this worldGod, please dont take the girlJohnnys daddyWas taking him fishinWhen he was eight years old
