Marty Robbins - Shotgun Rider Lyrics
Well I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stageI got me a sawed-off hogleg, twenty is the number guageI'd shoot anybody that would try to stop this rideA lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws diedShotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun riderI was sheriff down in Austin a long, long time agoA hangin' judge was a-my best friend and he never let a poor soul goI left that town for a better job a-ridin' on this stageShootin' outlaws with this gun is how I won my fameShotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun riderYou can ask anybody north of the Rio GrandeIf they don't want no trouble, don't truck with the shotgun man'Cause I got an itchy finger and I got an eagle's eyeI can spot a desperado with trail dust in my eyesShotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun riderWell I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stageI got me a sawed-off hogleg, twenty is the number guageI'd shoot anybody that would try to stop this rideA lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws diedShotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider
