Drive-By Truckers - Ray's Automatic Weapon lyrics

Ray, I got to tell you
You got to take that gun back
Cuz these things that I been shooting
At are getting all too real
Don't want to hurt nobody
But I keep on aiming closer
Don't think that I can keep
It feeling like I feel ray I know I told you
That I'd keep it for you
I know I said I trusted me
With it more than you
But something happened last night
That made me reconsider
I need you to drive out here
And relieve me of it too
I figured after forty years
I wouldn't still be having nightmares
You'd think that now that we're older
That war would finally be over
Ray, I'm in my sixties and
The nights ain't getting shorter


Only my patience and checkbook and fuse
Ray I got to tell you
You got to come take that gun back
Cuz these things that I been shooting
At are getting all too real
