Troy Verges - Shotgun Rider lyrics

[Verse 1] Horses are running wide open I just got to ride To those honky-tonk bars that stay open way past closing time Songs about free thinking and drinking sure light my fire That flame leaves a scar on my heart like an old branding iron [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Yesterday's nothing but dust I brush off my boots While I'm wearing out roads don't you know that I'm sure missing you If I leave you'll be wondering when I'll be back again Between Texas and ranchers and old friends where do you fit in [Chorus] 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 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 [Outro] Woman come lay down beside me and be my shotgun rider
