  Johnny's daddy, was takin' him fishing 

  When he was eight years old 

  A little girl came through the front gate 

  Holdin' a fishin' 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

  R2:
  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

  S3:
  Same old boy, same sweet girl 

  Five years down the road 

  There's gonna 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
• GGGGCGsus4Ami7Dsus4
  R3:
  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
