Same ol' boy, same sweet girl, ten years down the road 
He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show. 
A stranger came and pulled a gun and 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. 
Mr., give it a whirl, but please, don't take the girl. 
 
 
Same ol' 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 said, "The baby's fine but , you'll have to leave 
`Cause his mama's fadin' fast," and Johhny hit his knees. 
And then he prayed, 
"Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest. 
I'll gladly take her place if you'll have me 
Make this my last request 
Take me out of this world, God, please, don't take the girl."
