Shotgun |
If I had a dollar for each time you let me down |
Then I’d have been a rich man long ago |
But the thing with lofty notions is you got to 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 the mood |
Just as we cross the track |
I watch you knock them back |
And though we see those city lights |
Instead, we hit the sack |
I only ride shotgun for you |
Highways bring on loneliness but I won’t beg forgiveness |
'Cause that is where I’m happiest to be |
With you there next to me |
So I’ll send them my regards |
In that dark and moldy bar |
Now I won’t have to gamble 'cause 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 |
'Cause I only ride shotgun for you |
