LEVER ACTIONS FOREVER
Brenn Hill - Red Cliffs Press Music (BMI)

Verse 1:
Marlin and Henry, Browning and Winchester 1873
It was faster to load and it could handle more pressure with a tubular magazine
General Custer and all of his soldiers fell at the Little Bighorn
To an army of Sioux packin' quick lever actions and so the legend was born

Chorus 1:
And here I am ridin' in 2019 with both of my sons by my side
With an old lever action Browning carbine crossin' my back while we ride
Lever actions live on forever
Lever actions live on forever

Verse 2:
From 44-40 to 22 long the 45-70 kicks
I'm walkin' tall through the Grizzly Bear willows with bone crushin' lead at my hip
Shootin' cross canyons at 800 meters at black bears lions and wolves
There's heads on the wall and meat in the freezer and all of my problems are solved

Chorus 2:
And here I am writin' in 2019 with my old guitar by my side
About an old lever action Browning carbine my father carried with pride
Lever actions live on forever
Lever actions live on forever

Bridge:
In a day when the future of guns hinges on the laws of the land
My granddaddy's 30-30 Winchester will be pried from my cold dead hands
Yeah my grandaddy's 30-30 Winchester will be pried from my cold dead hands

Final Chorus:
Deep in my scabbard or high on my shoulder with both of my sons by my side
It's a fine lever action faithful old soldier I'll always carry with pride
Lever actions live on forever
Lever actions live on forever
