If Guitars Were Guns Lyrics

I play country music at my little cabin home in the hood
And I play rock and roll cause it makes me feel good
I play them ole blues, take the load off my mind
I play what I please, out of tune and out of time

Chorus:
If guitars were guns Lord I’d be Jesse James
Like stealing the show, like robbing them trains
Riding off to a hideout in that Tennessee rain
Lord, if guitars were guns I’d be Jesse James

I stole love from the rich girls, I gave some to the poor
Hell I am what I am since the day I was born
Some people play music for fortune and fame
Hell, I’m poor and nobody but I play just the same

Chorus:
If guitars were guns Lord I’d be Jesse James
Like stealing the show, like robbing them trains
Riding off to a hideout in that Tennessee rain
Lord, if guitars were guns baby I’d be Jesse James

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
