Time To
Get A Gun ist auf dem 2009er Album Revolution der amerikanischen
Country-Musikerin Miranda Lambert erschienen. Es handelt sich um ein
Cover des kanadischen Country-Sängers Fred Eaglesmith.
Ich
persönlich verstehe den Text ironisch, ich befürchte allerdings,
dass Miranda Lambert das anders sieht. Wie so viele Musikerinnen aus
der Country-Szene ist auch sie eine Waffen-Befürworterin und steht
auch ausdrücklich dazu.
Über
dieses Thema kann man natürlich geteilter Meinung sein, aber trotz
allem finde ich den Song gut und mag auch die Art, wie Miranda ihn
singt. Hier kann man gut ihre natürlichere, rockigere Seite sehen,
ohne den ganzen Country-Glamour. Das steht ihr gut, wie ich finde.
Time
To Get A Gun
My
neighbor’s car got stole last night right out of his driveway
We heard the dog ‘a barking, we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm wondering if it’s time
We heard the dog ‘a barking, we never paid them any mind
And Mary says she’s gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
I’ve been walking around this farm wondering if it’s time
Time
to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
Last
week a government man was there when I walked out of my back door
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am” it don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass
He said “I’m sorry to bother you ma’am” it don’t matter anymore
‘Cause even while we’re talking right here where we stand
They’re making plans for a four-lane highway and a big ole overpass
Time
to get a gun, that’s what I been thinkin’
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
Mary
says she’s worried about herself and her kids
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me ‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night and I’m gonna be that one
She’s never known anybody had a gun and her daddy never did
Well I think it should be up to me ‘cause when it’s all said and done
Somebody’s gotta walk into the night and I’m gonna be that one
Time

I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinkin’
Time to put something between me and the sun
When the talking is over it’s time to get a gun
When
the party is over it’s time to get a gun
