ShotgunIf I had a dollar for each time you let me downThen I'd have been a rich man long ago But the thing with lofty notions is you gotta let them go Relieve yourself of proof, believe in higher truth And look for deeper meaning like the way that poets do So I only ride shotgun for you Heading out with you behind the wheel is like a poem I hold my tongue and exercise restraint That old familiar road house always puts us in a mood Just as we cross the track, I watch you knock 'em back And tho' we see those city lights, instead we hit the sack And I only ride shotgun for you! Highways bring on loneliness but I won't beg forgiveness 'Cuz that is where I'm happiest to be; with you there next to me! So send them my regard in that dark and moldy bar Now I won't have to gamble 'cuz that's always where you are But like a shooting star, I'm useless from afar So I'm blazing for glory to come get you in my car And darling, you know my aim is true 'Cuz I only ride shotgun for you |
