[Verse 1]

N.C. G G D D
He walked up my porch, Shook my hand,

C C G G
Picked up my daughter, "Yes Sir and yes Ma'am."

G G D D
We shut the door, My wife slapped me,

She said "he's a gentleman, Why don't you look happy?"

Am Am C C
I said "Baby it's so crazy that you can't see,

Am Am C N.C.
'Cause I've been that guy before, And we only wants one thing."

[Chorus 1]

D N.C. G D Em C
That boy's a loaded gun, And he only wants some fun,

G D Em C
Well he ain't gonna get it from my little girl,

G D Em C
I know boys and how they think, Don't go acting like it's sweet,

'Cause I can make it look like an accident for sure,

Am Am C C
She said "One day your little girls gonna get married,

You can't kill these boys" And I said "Maybe not,

I hid in my garage, And found the bench press,

C C G G
Could've thrown two fifty about fourteen times,

G G D D
I paced the house, Looked out the window,

'Til his truck pulled in at eleven fifty nine,

Am Am C C
Then he walked her to the door to get a kiss,

Am Am C D
I swung the door wide open scared him to death and it made me grin.

[Chorus 2]

G D Em C
'Cause that boy's a loaded gun, And he only wants some fun,

G D Em C
Well he ain't gonna get it from my little girl,

'Cause I can make it look like an accident for sure,

She said "One day your little girls gonna get married,

Am Am C N.C.
You can't kill these boys" And I said "Maybe not,

But I still keep the shovel ready.
