Shotgun Rider

Horses are running wide open I just gotta ride

To those honky-tonk bars that stay open way past closing time

Songs about free thinkin' and drinkin' sure light my fire

That flame leaves a scar on my heart like an old branding iron



She said rodeo man where are you going

Don't you know that the life of a cowboy is no good alone

If you tear down that fence of rusty barbed wire

Then I'll lay down beside you and be your shotgun rider



Yesterday's nothing but dust I brush off my boots

While I'm wearing out roads don't you know that I'm sure missin' you

When I leave you'll be wondering when I'll be back again

Between Texas and ranchers and old friends where do you fit in



She said rodeo man where are you going

Don't you know that the life of a cowboy is no good alone

If you tear down that fence of rusty barbed wire

Then I'll lay down beside you and be your shotgun rider



Hey rodeo man where are you going

Don't you know that the life of a cowboy is no good alone

If you tear down that fence of rusty barbed wire

Then I'll lay down beside you and be your shotgun rider



Woman come lay down beside me and be my shotgun rider
