Lyrics:

Ray I gotta tell ya
You gotta come take that gun back
Cus these friends that I been shooting at
Are getting all too real

Don't want to hurt nobody
But I keep on aiming closer
Don't think that I can keep it
Feelin' like I feel

Ray I know I told you
That I'd keep it for you
I know I said I trusted me
With it more than you

But something happened last night
That made me reconsider
And I need you to drive out here
And relieve me of it too

I figured after 40 years
I wouldn't still be having nightmares
Then you think that when I'm a little older
That war would finally be over
Ray I'm in my sixties
And the nights ain't getting shorter

Ray I gotta tell ya
You gotta take that gun back
Cus these things that I been shooting at
Are getting all too real
