Johnny Cash - Don't take your guns to town lyrics

Alcohol and guns don't mix.  The song is about a boy who wants to prove he's a man, so he takes his guns to town and into a bar, where he is shot down.

I put the song up because too many people think America has to prove something in the world.  Are we really that insecure about ourselves that we have to prove something?  Are we really a bunch of fuzzy cheeked adolescents who don't know any better?

I was angry yesterday and it affected me so much that my blood pressure went up.  I was angry for conservatives for making an argument that sounded a lot like this song.  They ought to know better.

We need to do better than this.
