This is a homage to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Saturday Night Special. It seems odd to believe that there was the possibility of an anti-gun country rock song. But it exists. The music to these lyrics would be like that.
Good Guy With A Gun
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
they tell me that the cure
to all our problems
is a good guy with a gun
but I can only tell you
tell you true as can be
that the answer to our woe
ain’t more guns, that’s for sho
good guy with a gun
ain’t gunna fix nothing
good guy with a gun
is just a scam
we need to fix this problem
yes ma’am
good guy with a gun
good guy with a gun
don’t screw this one up son
good guy with a gun
isn’t the way to run
it seems like
every day we got more death on the TV
too many people are dying let me tell you
too many people shot down in the prime of life
at church, at the concert, God knows where else
good guy with a gun
good guy with a gun
don’t screw this one up son
good guy with a gun
isn’t the way to run
[bridge]
good guy with a gun ain’t the cure
it’s just a part of the problem
let me set things right
we need more control
more control of the guns we got
that’s for sure, right?
women and children shot dead
every time of day
when is this going to fade away
into the night
when are we going to stop hoping
that a good guy with a gun
will set things right
