Lyrics provided by http://www.1songlyrics.com/ ---Don't Take the Girl--- --Tim McGraw-- Johnny's daddy, was takin' him fishing when he was eight years old A little girl came through the front gate holdin' a fishin' pole 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 mindAnd Johnny said Take Jimmy Johnson, take Timmy Thompson 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 grabbed her by the arm Said if you do what I tell you to there won't be any harmAnd Johnny said Take my money, take my wallet take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me 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 Doctor says the baby's fine but you'll have to leave 'Cause his momma's fading fast and, Johnny hit his kneesAnd there he prayed Take the very, breath you gave me 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 taking him fishing When he was eight years old Song Discussions is protected by U.S. Patent 9401941.
