Album: Rough & Ready
When I was young
My neighbourhood was rough
My father told me just one thing
And this is what he said:
You can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
No, you can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
Now they’re outside your door
And they’re looking for you
That’s why I’m telling you now
What my father said:
You can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
No, you can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
Now the world’s on fire
Got to be much stronger
Do you run away
Or stand up for real
You can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
No, you can’t bring a knife to a gunfight
