Lead singer Wesley Shultz explained the moment that inspired this song:
This song was [from] the time when my dad had just passed away – so soon after that that the clothes were still in his drawers. And so, I was running late for work and realized I didn’t have black socks. I knew I’d be sent home...
Gun Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't own a single gun
But if I did, you'd be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don't own a single gun
[Verse 2]
And I don't have a sweetheart yet
But if I did, I'd break my neck to please her
Make her want to stay in my arms, she'd rest
But I don't have a sweetheart yet
[Bridge]
I can't believe what I found in daddy's sock drawer
Sock drawer, today
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson
Holy— Holy shit!
[Pre-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la
One, two— One, two, three, four!
[Chorus]
Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray, I'll be more than my father's son
But I don't own a single gun
[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
