[00:30.40]He said she'd be his with the sun. [00:34.77]He said anyone try to stop him [00:38.88]Would be just one more notch on his gun. [00:42.30] [00:43.43]They say he's headstrong and handsome. [00:47.50]His hair's blowing wild and free. [00:51.72]And they got a hold... [00:53.74]I ain't coming cuz he's a lot younger than me.

[01:08.78]He's coming after Jenny wants to take her away [01:12.88]But I ain't gonna let her go. [01:16.70] [01:17.25]He hasn't had much education. [01:20.89] [01:21.56]And he ain't worked a day in his life. [01:24.78] [01:25.83]He's living with some older woman. [01:29.92]They say she's another man's wife. [01:34.05]But she wants him and needs him, and loves him. [01:38.33]She buys him his clothes and his meals. [01:42.52]When she finds he's gone, she'll be praying [01:46.88]And, Lord, I know just how she feels. [01:50.37] [01:51.01]But he'll be coming down the road at the break of day. [01:55.43]His head thrown back and his guns tied low. [01:59.59]He's coming after Jenny wants to take her away [02:03.83]But I ain't gonna let her go. [02:06.74] [02:08.06]The sun's at his back as he's coming [02:12.16]The smile is cruel on his lip. [02:16.48]His right hand is slowly descending [02:20.70]To the sixgun that rests on his hip. [02:24.93] [02:25.90]Then his lower lip started to tremble [02:29.59]And he started crying as he looked up at me. [02:32.86] [02:33.60]As I picked him up, [02:34.63]I said, "Son, you're only four years old, [02:37.87]And you know Jenny is only three. [02:41.65] [02:42.48]So, come on inside the house, [02:44.35]And have some cookies and milk. [02:46.56]And he did and the tears turned to smiles. [02:50.10] [02:50.85]And I called up his mama. [02:52.55]And I drove him home, [02:53.88] [02:55.02]And Jenny's safe... at least for a little while. [02:59.87]
