Johnny's daddy
Was takln' him iishin'

He was eight years old
Little girl came

Through the front gate

Holdin' a iishin' pole
His dad. looked down

And smiled
Said
We can leave her behind

Son I know

You don't want her to go
Someday you'll

Change your mind

And Johnny said
Take Jimmy Johnson
Take Tommy Thompson

Take my best friend. Beau
Take anybody

That you want as

Long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please

Don't take the girl
Same old boy

Same sweet girl

Ten years down the road
He held her tight

And. he kissed her lips
In iront oi the

picture show

Stranger came
And pulled a gun

Grabbed her by the arm

Said if you do
What I tell you to

There won't be any harm

And Johnny said
Take my money

Take my wallet

Take my credit cards
Here's the watch
That my grandpa gave me

Here's the keys to my car
Mister give it a whirl

But please

Don't take the girl
Same old boy

Same sweet girl

Five years down the road
There's gonna be

A little one and

She says it's time to go
Doctor said the

baby's fine

But you'll have to leave
'Cause his mama is

fading fast

And Johnny hit his knees
Take the heart from

my chest

I'll gladly take her place
Ii You'll let me
Make this my last request

Take me out of this world
God please

Don't. take the girl
Johnny's daddy

Was takin' him iishin'
When he was eight

years old
