Don't take the girl

I admit my knowledge about music is very limited, specially country music. I prefer more the RnB, slow rock or pop. Last Sunday, I borrowed my husband's MP3 coz I wanted to hear music while cleaning the windows of our house, so I won't felt tired while cleaning. I never thought he had country music on his MP3 coz most of the time he played rap & rock music.

But anyway, I'm not embarrassed to tell you this that it's my first time to hear this song last Sunday titled "Don't take the girl", I felt inlove with the song. So, I searched it on youtube to find out who's the singer and it was Tim McGraw. I am familiar with his name but never got the chance to hear one of his songs yet until last Sunday (I'm very poor when it comes to country music jud).

I decided to share the lyrics and the video of the song. Maybe some of you or most of you knew the song already but to those who didn't know the song, let me share this with you. I love the lyrics of the song, it's very meaningful and it talks about how love developed in time...from hatred to love..wheewwwww!

Here's the video and the lyrics of the song:

Johnny's daddy was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate holdin' 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 Johnny said "Take Jimmy Johnson, take Tommy Thompson, take my best friend Bo
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world
Daddy please don't take the girl

Same old boy
Same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips
In front of the picture show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
Grabbed her by the arm said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be any harm"
And Johnny said "Take my money, take my wallet, take my credit cards
Here's the watch that my grandpa gave 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
Five years down the road
There's going to 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 fading fast and Johnny hit his knees and there 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

Johnny's daddy
Was taking him fishin'
When he was eight years old
