SHOOT 'EM UP, COWBOY

Words and music by Winston Apple

Billy's been working the night shift
He bought a pistol to protect his family
His teen-age daughter's got a crazy boyfriend
When he gets mad, Lord, don't he get mean?

And you say now,
Shoot `em up, shoot `em up, cowboy
Shoot `em up, shoot `em down dead
Don't you worry too much about it
Lord knows that every now and then
Everybody loses their head

Sammy got a shotgun for Christmas
You know he loves to hunt the rabbits and squirrels
`Til one Saturday night when he came home early
Found his best friend there in bed with his girl

And you say now, shoot `em up, shoot `em up, cowboy..

You can put away the birthday candles
Timmy won't be needing them any more
He was meaning to clean Daddy's killing machine
But, he dropped it and it went off when it hit the floor

And you say now, shoot `em up, shoot `em up, cowboy..
