Verse 1As The Cold Breaks Down On Me TodayI Will Find A Better WayI Won't Close My Eyes And Ears And Cry"You've Got Yours And I've Got Mine"ChorusAnd Before I Buy A Gun I'll Get To Know My NeighborBefore The Lines Are Drawn I'll Keep A Light Lit OnAnd You Can Try And Say I Have To Hate The OtherBefore I Buy A Gun I'll Get To Know My NeighborVerse 2It's A Fragile Thread That Holds Us AllFraying At The SeamsWhile You Hope And Pray For What's To ComeRight Now Needs What It NeedsChorusAnd Before I Buy A Gun I'll Get To Know My NeighborBefore The Lines Are Drawn I'll Keep A Light Lit OnAnd You Can Try And Say I Have To Hate The OtherBefore I Buy A Gun I'll Get To Know My Neighbor
