Don't Take The Girl Lyrics - Tim McGraw

1 Johnny's daddy, was takin' him fishin', when he was eight years old

2 A little girl came through the front gate, holdin' a fishin' pole

3 His dad looked down and smiled, said we can't leave her behind

4 Son I know you don't want her to go, but someday you'll change your mind

5 And Johnny said

6 Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo

7 Take anybody that you want as, long as she don't go

8 Take any boy in the world

9 Daddy please, don't take the girl

10 Same old boy, same sweet girl, ten years down the road

11 He held her tight and kissed her lips in, front of the picture show

12 Stranger came and pulled a gun, grabbed her by the arm

13 Said if you do what I tell you to there, won't be any harm

14 And Johnny said

15 Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards

16 Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me, here's the key to my car

17 Mister give it a whirl

18 But please, don't take the girl

19 Same old boy, same sweet girl, five years down the road

20 There's gonna be a little one and she, says it's time to go

21 Doctor says the baby's fine, but you'll have to leave

22 'Cause his momma's fadin' fast and, Johnny hit his knees

23 And there he prayed

24 Take the very, breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest

25 I'll gladly take her place if you'll let me, make this my last request

26 Take me out of this world

27 God please, don't take the girl

28 Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'

29 When he was eight years old
