Shotgun (Acoustic)

SHOTGUN

I’ll drive the car you just sit where you are

Cryin out under the stars

I’ll get us home, 200 miles to go

I’ll wake you up near El Paso

We’re an old pair, stubborn and bare

We burned through all other love

I ain’t seen you in weeks, in that Texas heat

And when you called you said there’s no one left to trust

We’re just headlights passing in the night

With two broken hearts along for the ride

No matter where you run, you’ll always be my shotgun

He left you lean with only money for the cigarette machine

Your cell phone, and guitar and case

That I gave to you, back when we were new

It’s the only evidence that remains

Oh, oh, oh, shotgun

It's daylight again I made it to the I10

I say “Hey Lorraine, you almost home”

She says to me that “I’m still sweet”

And “she can’t believe that I’m still alone.”
