Shotgun Rider

歌詞

There was a man who owned a part of town Approached me in his own saloon and said, "hey boy, sit down" "Was I unemployed or would I like a job" He said he owned the stageline, and were men who liked to rob He offered me his daughter's hand, advance of salary A fancy gun, a pair of boots, a share in the company Now I ride shotgun on his stageline I ride shotgun on his life I ride shotgun on his money I ride shotgun on his wife Shotgun ... rider ... shotgun ... rider There were outlaws who waited on the trail For the stagecoach daily run with payrolls and the mail They spied our dust and saddled up to ride They saw the worried driver with me sittin' at his side They circled 'round the stagecoach, it was their daily fun Until they saw the driver smile and spied my trusty gun Now I ride shotgun on his stageline I ride shotgun on his life I ride shotgun on his money I ride shotgun on his wife Shotgun ... rider ... shotgun ... rider We caught the outlaws and took them back to jail Sent for the county marshall and would not post a bail Sent 'em up the river .... ha! ... that sure cleaned up the town I was elected sheriff and the mayor asked me down I now own half the stageline, and half the rest of town I go to church on Sunday ... I think I've settled down Now I ride shotgun on his stageline I ride shotgun on his life I ride shotgun on his money I ride shotgun on his wife I ride shotgun on his stageline I ride shotgun on his life I ride shotgun on his money I ride shotgun on his wife Shotgun ... rider ... shotgun ... rider ...shot Gonna shoot 'em out ... don't get in my way
