I like to fly but I stick close to the ground If I get too high somebody always wants to shoot me down There used to be a time when you could get your fun Didn't have to watch yourself with anyone Seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun I had a girl, cute as she could be I thought that girl would never love no-one but me She looked like an angel, she was so young I told myself that child could never hurt no-one Seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun I might shake your hand and say how do you do You got to understand if I don't want to talk to you Too many people out in the sun sun sun Cut you if you stand, shoot you if you run Seems like these days everybody's carrying a gun.
