Don't know all the words, but the boy is Johnny. Sad tune! -John
Tim McGraw - Not A Moment Too Soon cd
*A few of the words may be sketchy, I only have my memory to go by* :)
"Don't Take The Girl"
Johnnie's daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
Little girl came throught the front porch
Holding a fishing 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
mind
And Johnnie said
Take Billy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Beau
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
But please, don't take the girl
Same old boy, same sweet girl
10 years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in front
of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a knife
Grabbed her by the arm
Said if you do what I tell you to do
There won't be any harm
And Johnnie said
Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa left 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
5 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 fadin' fast and
Johnnie hit his knees
And then 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..
