Ray's Automatic Weapon Lyrics - Go-go Boots - Drive By Truckers

Ray, I got to tell you, you got to come take that gun back 

'Cause 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 

And 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 

And then you'd think that now 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 

'Cause these things that I been shooting at are getting all too real
