Lyrics

Josephine put down the gun.

Now darlin? I didn?t expect you so soon
and I know that you wouldn?t be over the moon
to walk in through our own front door
see me sitting here on the floor
with a girl I don?t see no more
but there?s no reason to start the war

Chorus:
Josephine put down the gun
don?t tell me that my time has come
oh sweetest heart I can explain
you?ll never catch me
with Emily again

Now darlin? you?ve got a temper it?s true
I know what the situation must look like to you
you?ve got that crazy look in your eye
but there?s no need for someone to die
we were just saying our last goodbye
oh please don?t make my mama cry

Chorus:
Josephine put down the gun
don?t tell me that my time has come
oh sweetest heart I can explain
you?ll never catch me
with Emily again

Now darlin you know how I feel about you
it?s more than my life?s worth to be untrue
your last man lies dead in the ground
nobody takes you for a clown
but you must believe we weren?t fooling around
now come on honey please calm down

Chorus:
Josephine put down the gun
don?t tell me that my time has come
oh sweetest heart I can explain
you?ll never catch me
with Emily again
