Lyrics Don't Take The Girl - Live From N.Y. / Acoustic - Tim McGraw
Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
And his dad looked down and smiled
Said, "We can't leave her behind
Son, I know you don't want her to go
But someday you'll change your mind"
And Johnny said
Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson
And take my best friend, Bo
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 kissed her lips in
Front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
He grabbed her by the arm
Said, "If you do what I tell you to, there
There won't be any harm"
And Johnny said
Take my money, take my wallet
And take my credit cards
And here's the watch that my grandpa gave me
And here's the key 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"
The Doctor says, "The baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his momma's fadin' fast" and
Johnny hit his knees
And there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me
And take the heart from my chest
I'll gladly take her place if 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 fishin'
When he was eight years old
Thank you, that was our very first number one record
A long, long time ago
Thank you all so much
