Letra de Don't Take Your Guns To Town (1988 Version)
A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm He changed his clothes and shined his boots And combed his dark hair down And his mother cried as he walked outDon't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to townHe laughed and kissed his mom And said, "Your Billy Joe's a man" "I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can" "But I wouldn't shoot without a cause" "I'd gun nobody down" But she cried again as he rode awayDon't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to townHe sang a song as on he rode His guns hung at his hips He rode into a cattle town A smile upon his lips He stopped and walked into a bar And laid his money down And his mother's words echoed againDon't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to townHe drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand And tried to tell himself he had, at last, he had become a man A dusty cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down And his mother's words echoed againDon't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to townFilled with rage then Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered 'round And wondered at his final wordsDon't take your guns to town son Leave your guns at home Bill Don't take your guns to town
