Rabbit Gets The Gun Lyrics by Cody Johnson & Jay Buchanan
(Feat. Jay Buchanan)
King Fox had a golden scepter
Ruled with an iron fist
He taxed the birds for flying
For swimming he taxed the fish
Now they all bow down before him
Not out of reverence but out of fear
The kingdom lost its luster
Rusted out by hopeless tears
Underground the worms are stirring
And the war is down below
There was anger, there was danger
There was a talk of overthrow
And the bullied can’t be bullied
When the bullied won’t back down
And the whispers on the bullet
Started heralding for the crown
It ain’t no fun when the rabbit gets the gun
No it ain’t no fun at all
You can cry, cry, cry and run, run, run
But the hammer’s still going to fall
The first shall be last, last shall be first
When your kingdom comes undone
I’m here to tell you that it ain’t no fun
When the rabbit gets the gun
Now you can call this a warning
Or a lesson to be learned
But you can’t unstart a fire
Once the bridges start to burn
So go on and eat your supper
With your silver spoon in hand
And enjoy the corn that you’re growing out on somebody else’s land
It ain’t no fun when the rabbit gets the gun
No it ain’t no fun at all
You can cry, cry, cry and run, run, run
But the hammer’s still going to fall
The first shall be last, last shall be first
When your kingdom comes undone
I’m here to tell you that it ain’t no fun
When the rabbit gets the gun
You know the rabbit’s got the gun
It ain’t no fun when the rabbit gets the gun
No it ain’t no fun at all
You can cry, cry, cry and run, run, run
But the hammer’s still going to fall
The first shall be last, last shall be first
When your kingdom comes undone
I’m here to tell you that it ain’t no fun
When the rabbit gets the gun
I said everybody knows that it ain’t no fun when the rabbit gets the gun
