Dad-dy please don’t take the girl


VERSE 2

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten 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 to, there wont be any harm
And johnny 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

VERSE 3

Same old boy
Same sweet 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 youll have to leave
cause his mommas fading fast and 
johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest
Ill gladly take her place if youll let me
Make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God, please dont take the girl
