Keep The Shovel Ready
He walked up my porch, shook my hand, picked up my daughter "yes sir and yes maam" We shut the door, and my wife slapped me, she said "he's a gentleman, why don't you look happy?" I said "Baby it's so crazy that you can't see, cause i've been that guy before, and we only wants one thing" That boy's a loaded gun, and he only wants some fun. Well he ain't gonna get it from my little girl. I know boys and how they think, don't go acting like it's sweet. Cause I can make it look like an accident for sure. She said "one day your little girls gonna get married, you can't kill these boys" I said "Maybe not, just keep the shovel ready". I went in my garage, and found the bench press, could've thrown 250 about 14 times, I paced the house, looked out the window, til his truck pulled in at 11:59, and he walked her to my door to get a kiss. I swung the door wide open and scared him to death and it made me grin. Cause that boy's a loaded gun, and he only wants some fun. Well he ain't gonna get it from my little girl. I know boys and how they think, don't go acting like it's sweet. Cause I can make it look like an accident for sure. I know my little girl's gon get married. I can't kill these boys, no maybe not, but I still keep the shovel ready. Five years later they're in love and going on their honeymoon, he's growing on me but our family graveyard's still got extra room. Cause that boy's a loaded gun, it ain't all about some fun, cause dammit we're talking about my little girl. I know boys and how they think, and it sure as hell ain't sweet. Cause I can make it look like an accident for sure. Well that day's come my little girls got married, I can't kill that boy, no maybe not. But I still keep the shovel ready. I still keep the shovel ready
