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 (25 febbraio 1932 – 10 dicembre 1996) è stato un cantante e cantautore di musica country statunitense, attivo dal primo decennio del 1950 fino alla metà degli anni '80. Considerato uno dei personaggi più colorati della scena country, Young ha ottenuto successi con brani come «If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')» e «Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young», che lo hanno consacrato come un artista del honky tonk sia per il sound che per lo stile di vita. Tuttavia, la sua versatilità vocale è emersa anche con singoli in vetta alle classifiche come «Hello Walls» e «It's Four In The Morning». Conosciuto come il «Hillbilly Heartthrob» e, dopo un ruolo nel cinema, come il «Singing Sheriff», Young ha mantenuto una presenza costante nelle classifiche per oltre 30 anni. Nel 1996 si è tolto la vita. Nel 2016 è stato introdotto nella Country Music Hall of Fame.
