Take it, you can have it
What I got, baby, I can't hold
If you find the secret
Tell me how to build the mold

And I can't handle your problems
Don't try to handle mine
Get yourself a shotgun, a pocketful of shells
While away the time

Get it right, do it nice
If you make a mistake, pay for it twice
But if you need it, got to have it
Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home

Look up the wall, you know you gotta call
Before you start calling, be ready to fall
And if you fall in my direction
Don't expect no help at all

Get it right, do it nice
If you make a mistake, pay for it twice
And if you need it, got to have it
Get yourself a shotgun and bring it back home

Look up the wall, you know you gotta call
Before you start calling, be ready to fall
And if you fall in my direction
Don't expect no help at all

Don't expect no help at all
Don't expect no help at all
And if you fall in my direction
Don't expect no help at all
