I was just a young girl when they sent him off to war Barely even knew what in hell he’s fighting for Told me all the stories of a world beyond the world Scaled the tallest mountains They braved a ragged sea Lost a lot of souls just to set the captives free May have lost a father but they found a lot of oil Gathered up our gods oh we gathered up our guns For the love of country For our fathers and our sons He was just a young man when they sent him off to war Barely even knew what in hell he’s fighting for The battle for the land with the strangers from the east Descending from the mountains and rising from the sea Monsters came with vengeance and took my son from me You can take my money, take my land, but not my son Gathered up our god oh we gathered up our guns For the love of country For our fathers and our sons Lost a lot of souls Stained the killing ground with blood Lord knows we won’t stop the fight until the battle’s won God we love our god Oh god we love our guns For the love of country For our fathers and our sons Lost a lot of souls Stained the killing ground with blood Lord knows we won’t stop the fight until the battle’s won Those who live by the gun, live by the gun Die by the gun Those who live by the gun, live by the gun Die by the gun
