Peter Case – Put Down the Gun

Peter Case – Put Down the Gun Lyrics

Artist: Peter Case
Song: Put Down the Gun

On the hills outside of town
There’s a hiding place
Where the green fields sway with lavender
Mustard and Queen Anne’s lace

Where the silent clouds go sailing
In a sea of Dutchman’s blue
And the lonesome shack
By the railroad cutting

Make me think of you
And the train we missed
I loved you from the first time
L looked upon your face

Though l didn’t know your story
I could feel your wild grace
Now you got yourself in trouble
But that ain’t nothing new

Through thick and thin
There’s always been
Someone watching over you
So put down thе gun

Put down the gun
Put down your gun
Put down the gun
Put down the gun

Put down your gun
Wеll you grew up on the street
Where the cops don’t go alone
In a town just like a wishing well

You were cast in like a stone
Put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put down your gun

Put down your gun
And we’ll talk
Now your friends all throw their lives away
Just making the rounds

And they can’t tell the difference
Between the shepherds and the clowns
That go knocking down doors
By the roadside every day

Selling something you don’t want
For a price you don’t want to pay
So put down the gun
Put down the gun

Put down your gun
You can put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put down your gun

Well it’s a lonely road you’ve travelled
That’s led you to this wall
It’s a road that’s come unravelled
Like it ain’t no road at all

So put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put down your gun
Put down your gun

And we’ll talk
Now l don’t want to swear it
But it’s something that l heard
A gun in the first act

Always goes off in the third
Now l don’t want to hurt you
I don’t want to fight
But there’ll be no third act at all

If someone’s killed tonight
Put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put down your gun

You can put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put down your gun
And we’ll talk
