Shotgun

But the thing with lofty notions is you gotta let them go.
Relieve yoursef of proof,
Believe in higher truth,
And look for deeper meaning like the way the 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 roadhouse always puts us in the mood.
Just as we cross the track,
I watch you knock 'em back.
And though we see those city lights,
Instead we hit the sack.
And I only ride shotgun for you!

Highways bring on lonliness,
But I won't beg forgiveness,
Cuz that is where I'm happiest to be...
Oh, with you there next to me!

So send them my regards,
In that dark and moldy bar.
Now I won't have to gamble,
Cuz that's always where you are.
So 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,
Cuz I only ride shotgun for you!
