It'll Be Mine
I was living in Honolulu, HI and I recall when everyday the news had a new abduction of someone's family member to report in a different pat of the country. We used to get into discussions about them during our breaks an one day someone asked me what I would do if it happened to me...my answer was the title to this song.
Verse 1
I get up every morning Cup of coffee, Sit and watch the news It shakes me When I hear about families Getting taken or abused So I thought I’d write a letter To anyone who thinks They’ll mess with my kin Let them know If they endanger my family The hell that they’ll be in The answer's pretty simple It’s really cut and dried You better hope the police find you ‘Fore you’re lookin in my eyes Chorus
I don’t need to take no hostage There ain’t no ransom for your life You best not lay a hand upon My children or my wife Stay away from my property If you intend to do me ill Or I’ll exercise my God given right Of free will I ain’t afrai to use my shotgun And I know how to tie a noose Buddy if I find you first You ain’t getting loose And it won’t be your trial They’ll be watchin It’ll be mine Verse 2
I don’t know how Some folks do it Waiting patiently While the wheel of justice turn I’d have way too much I’d have to get done Before that day would adjourn I’d be loadin up my pick-up With my shotgun And my trusted huntin dogs And on that particular morning I wouldn’t slop my hogs I can track you In the deep woods Or on some City street I promise you this one thing If you cross me We’ll meet
