I Just Got His Name

He kept a switchblade in his pocket
A pistol in his boot
He told me son don't ever show it
Unless you're sure you're going to shoot
One day I pulled it from his dresser
My auntie down the hall
I remembered what he told me
I blew a hole into the wall
And I'm nothing like him
I'm nothing like him
I just got his name
But go ahead
Check my pocket
I always got my blade
I didn't get in trouble
Cause I did was I was told
He gave me my next lesson
I was maybe five years old
He said it's time we had a drink boy
Come over have a seat
He told me it was wine
It was J&B scotch neat
And I'm nothing like him
I'm nothing like him
I just got his name
But go ahead
Check my glass
I'm still drinking the same
So if you want to try me
I suggest that you think twice
Go and ask around my hometown
How many men have lost their life
And if you're still looking for trouble
Then trouble's what you found
And if I show my pistol
Then I have to put you down
And I'm nothing like him
I'm nothing like him
I just got his name
But go ahead
Test my patients
I'll put you in your grave
And I'm nothing like him
I'm nothing like him
I just got his name
But go ahead
Test my patients
I'll put you in your grave
