[Chorus] What if no matter how angry he was How outraged he was how furious he was What if no matter how angry he was He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? [Verse] What if no matter how right he was How wrong they were how evil they were What if no matter how right he was He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? [Bridge] No rifle no shotgun no pistol in sight No revolvers automatics no assault guns tonight No clips crammed with bullets anywhere to be found No weapons just laying around. [Verse] What if no matter how outraged he was How furious he was how murderous he was What if no matter how outraged he was He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? [Bridge] If he dug through his Chevy the back seat the trunk The attic the basement piles of old junk Came up empty-handed again and again Tell me what would he do then? [Chorus] What if no matter how angry he was How outraged he was how furious he was What if no matter how angry he was He couldn’t lay hands on a gun? He couldn’t lay hands on a gun?
