A young cowboy named Billy Joe grew restless on the farm
A boy filled with wanderlust who really meant no harm
He changed his clothes and shined his boots and combed his dark hair down
And his mother cried as he walked outDon't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home BillDon't take your guns to town
He laughed and kissed his mom and said your Billy Joe's a man
And I can shoot as quick and straight as anybody can
But I wouldn't shoot without a cause I'd gun nobody down
But she cried again as he rode awayDon't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home BillDon't take your guns to town
He sang a song as on he rode his guns hung at his hips
He rode into a cattle town a smile upon his lips
He stopped and walked into a bar and laid his money down
But his mother's words echoed againDon't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home BillDon't take your guns to town
He drank his first strong liquor then to calm his shaking hand
And he tried to tell himself at last he'd become a man
A dust cowpoke at his side began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mother's wordsDon't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home BillDon't take your guns to town
Bill was raged and Billy Joe reached for his gun to draw
But the stranger drew his gun and fired before he even saw
As Billy Joe fell to the floor the crowd all gathered round
And wondered at his final wordsDon't take your guns to town son leave your guns at home BillDon't take your guns to town
Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter active from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s. Considered one of the most colorful figures in country music history, Young achieved success with songs like «If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')» and «Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young», establishing him as a honky tonk artist both in sound and lifestyle. However, his vocal versatility was also evident in chart-topping singles such as «Hello Walls» and «It's Four In The Morning». Known as the «Hillbilly Heartthrob» and, after a film role, as the «Singing Sheriff», Young consistently charted for over 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. In 2016, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
