Come and Take It
Deep in the heart of Texas, back in 1835
They drew a line in the sand
The folks of gonzales had freedom on their minds
It was all because of a cannon
That had kept their colony safe
But then General Santa Anna sent some Mexican troops
To take the big gun away
You know what those colonists said?

Come and take it if you want it!
Come and take it if you think you can!
Come and take it but we'll warn you
You'll have to pry it from our cold dead hands
We want the freedom that God gave us
So you best not cross that line
If you want this gun you gotta come through us
And take it-one shot at a time

Well that started a revolution
That no one could put down
Like a wild fire for freedom
-It's burnin' even now
You see, even if you got an army
When all is said and done
You just dont mess with Texas
Especially when it comes to guns
The Mexicans went home without that cannon!
Come and take it if you want it!
Come and take it if you think you can!
Come and take it but we'll warn you
You'll have to pry it from our cold dead hands
We want the freedom that God gave us
So you best not cross that line
If you want this gun you gotta come through us
And take it-one shot at a time

Now I know the Constitution
And it gives me certain rights
But I will never ever give up
At least not without a fight
So if anyones even thinkin'
They're gonna take my guns away
Like the good ol' boys down in Gonzales
I got one thing to say
Come on, make my day...

Come and take it if you want it!
Come and take it if you think you can!
Come and take it but I'll warn you
You'll have to pry it from our cold dead hands
We want the freedom that God gave us
So you best not cross that line
If you want this gun you gotta come through us, and take it-
One shot at a time...
