What are the lyrics to Tim McGraw's "Don't take the girl"?

Question

You want to know?““Don’t take the girl”
By
Tim McGraw

Johnny’s daddy was taking him fishing
When he was eight years old
Little girl came through the front gate
Holding 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 one day you’ll change you’re 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, Pleeease don’t take the girl

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held tight and kissed her lips in front of 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 card
Here’s a watch that my grandpa gave me,
Here’s the key to my car
Mister, give it a whirl
But
Pleeease don’t take the girl

Same old boy, same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There’s gonna be a little one and
She says time to go
Doctor says the baby’s fine
But you’ll have to leave
Cuz’ his mama fading past
And Johnny hit his knees and there he prayed
Take the very breath you gave me,
Take this 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 Pleeease,
Don’t take the girl

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

Such a true but sad song, it makes me wont to thank god every time I here it. I almost lost my little girl after she gave birth to her second daughter. She started hemridging and had to be given 128 pints of blood. A few month later after her operation, we almost lost her the second time. She himridged internally, had a blood clot the size of bashetball. So there is no one that can say I don't have something to be thankfull for. .

Answer 4

Yeppers... song still makes me cry and hold my wife tight.

My lil boy (4) grimaces, 'cause girls have "cooties".
