Empty Chamber the Pursuit of Happiness
Remember boys you can pull the trigger but one thing you can't do is take back the bullet Empty chamber empty dreams momma's eyes full of tears Give a dog a bad Name, and he'll soon be hanged. I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it It is not like when old yeller died and I cried Off the porch but he is just a man running from his pain more mercy shown from the dog that licked the leper's wound Men be sure of the values you are aiming at to own a gun does not mean you are on the run when pleading for life a cry for mercy make you a dog Love God love your brother and whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: Teach your children to respect life and that of others then watch for the slide If they will take your rights they will take everything The law and the prophets Remember boys you can pull the trigger but one thing you can't do is take back the bullet Empty chamber empty dreams momma's eyes full of tears
