Lyrics

Shoot the shot before you get a shot Shot out of view Shoot the shot before you get a shot Shot out of view, oh shot Oh yeah, it's mine, mine Mine, ha, it's mine I do what I wanna do And you can't tell me, hey Who to give it to Oh, it's yours sometimes But it's mine all the time And I do what I wanna do You can't tell me That I'm the man, man, I'll save it for you High, my life had been empty Since you went away I feel so very lonely I trip from day to day So shoot the shot before it Get the shot, shot out of view It's my mess And I do what I wanna do I'm a dude who don't talk rude Who really, really, really don't spin I'll save a dollar until the eagle grin I'm tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over Tryin' to get over I, I, I tryin' to get over Hey, tryin' to Tryin' to get over Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah Shoot the shot, hey, shoot the shot Shoot the shot, ah, shoot the shot, ah Shoot the shot, shoot the shot, ah Shoot the shot, ah I'm a dude who don't talk rude Who really don't, don't spin I save a dollar 'til the eagle grin Fred, shoot the shot Shoot the shot, ah, shoot it, shoot it Shoot the shot, shoot the shot, shoot the shot Maceo, shoot the shot Fred, shoot the shot Shoot the shot, Maceo Fred, shoot the shot, Fred Maceo Louder! Hit it, hit it, hit it, hit it Ah! Shoot the shot Shoot it, shoot it, shoot the shot Shoot the shot, ah Shoot the shot, ah
