After We Go to Guns

 

Merle Haggard

2004

 

The preacher said bow our heads and let us pray.
And, Lord bless this congregation here today.
And lord, give our leaders a much needed helping hand.
I ask it all in Christ the Son of Man.

Oh, after we go to guns it’ll be too late.
Isn’t there something else that we can advocate?
One more peaceful Sunday Lord
A few more days to wait.
‘Cause after we go to war it’ll be too late

There’s always another war we can go to.
Soldiers they’ll be there, tho they’ll be different ones.
Keep all minds open
Should the answer come

The talking’s done
After we go to guns

After we go to war it’ll be too late
Isn’t there something else that they can advocate.
Give us a few more peaceful Sundays Lord
A few more days to wait
After we go to war it’ll be too late
After we go to guns it’ll be too late
Isn’t there something else they can advocate.

Give us a few more peaceful Sundays Lord
A few more days to wait
After we go to war it’ll be too late.

Lord, after we go to war
it’ll
be
too
late
