Golden Boy Lyrics

There's a gun in a safe in the little white shed next to that pecan tree

Its got my name written all on the side of it, that's what he told me

He said "look here boy, when I'm gone this .22 is all your own"

I saw the sun reflect off of that golden lever action

The youngest of four boys, I never thought this would happen

I saw his golden tooth in his smile, said I'd take care of it for a while

Oh

Take me to the home place

It's the closest to heaven that I'll ever get

String up the the bottles on the sycamore tree

And I'll shoot them down

Yeah I'll shoot them down

Yeah I'll shoot them down

With my golden boy

With my golden boy

With my golden boy

With my gold

Well the memories come flooding in from June, when I heard from you

We talked about the land that the oil man use for his herd of few

And I told you that I'd buy it back, something that you wish you had

Papa you could sit on the porch and watch those doves fly on by

While I work to rebuild your old home every day and night

You know the first thing I'll lock inside is that .22 with iron sights

Oh

Take me to the home place

It's the closest to heaven that I'll ever get

String up the the bottles on the sycamore tree

And I'll shoot them down

Yeah I'll shoot them down

Yeah I'll shoot them down

With my golden boy

With my golden boy

With my golden boy

With my gold
