I drove through the night,
I drove through the day
I'd find the right road
and then I'd lose my way
Mostly I'd swore but sometimes I'd pray
Now I stand in front of you with your armaments parade
Won't you put them away?
I have not come for a fight
Say what you need to say,
but lay down your weapons
Lay down your weapons tonight
I suppose I deserve a couple of shots
But you held the line while I tied it up in knots
I never lined up my words and my thoughts
Always found a way to confuse my haves and my have nots
All there's to say I have not come for a fight
Won't you put them away?
Lay down your weapons,
oh, lay down your weapons
Oh, lay down your weapons tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight,
Tonight
Won't you put them away?
I have not come for a fight
Say what you need to say but lay down weapons
Oh, lay down your weapons
Oh, lay down your weapons
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight
