Trading In My Pistol Lyrics

Laying here looking at you

Not knowing what you've been through

Swear on my life I'll treat you right

Just to be with you every night

Don't care where you've been

Right now is when we begin

Don't care what you've done

I think I found my forever one

Money's been tight it's only getting tighter

Every week my check's a little lighter

So to make it official

To get you a ring I'm trading in my pistol

Can't give you the world but we don't need it

Your hand in mine is a good fit

I don't have money I don't have fame

But I'll give you my last name

It was given to me by my dad

That gun and bad luck was all he had

With it he left a note

Before he passed this is what he wrote

Son this life wasn't too bad

Especially cause I got to be your dad

Just be happy whatever you do and

Find someone that truly loves you

Money's been tight it's only getting tighter

Every week my check's a little lighter

So to make it official

To get you a ring I'm trading in my pistol

Can't give you the world but we don't need it

Your hand in mine is a good fit

I don't have money I don't have fame

But I'll give you my last name

Don't need champagne to have a good time

Just me and her and some cheap wine

Watching stars from my truck bed

Talking about our life up ahead

Don't have much but it don't matter

Sold everything to get this trailer

That second hand dress fits her just fine

And the pawn store ring tells the world she's mine

Money's been tight it's only getting tighter

Every week my check's a little lighter

So to make it official

To get you a ring I'm trading in my pistol

Can't give you the world but we don't need it

Your hand in mine is a good fit

I don't have money, I don't have fame

But I'll give you my last name
