Gun Song - The Lumineers
Album: Cleopatra
genre: Folk Indie Rock
I don’t own a single gun, but if I did you’d be the one
To hold it, aim it, make all of the bad men run
But I don’t own a single gun
I don’t have a sweetheart yet, but if I did I’d break my neck
To please her, make her want to stay in my arms she’d rest
But I don’t have a sweetheart yet
I can’t believe what I found in daddy’s
Sock drawer, sock drawer today
It was a pistol, a Smith & Wesson, holy, holy shit
Things I knew when I was young
Some were true and some were wrong
And one day, I pray, I’ll be more than my father’s son
But I don’t own a single gun

This song is based on a story of Wesley Schultz. He was running late for work and he forgot to take his black socks. He returned to take a pair out of his father's drawer and there he found, between the socks, a pistol.
