shotgun

once i was a gamblin' man

i kept my pistol by my hand

got my work done by the light of the moon

evil deeds made up my mind

i traded peace for troubled times

wickedness and whiskey were my fuel

oh but now i keep it locked away. i might have hung up my shotgun

but i didn't put it up so high

that i can't reach up and get it back down

if you give me a reason why

still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

a couple of rounds of buckshot will go a long long way

once i had a good run

but i hung up my shotgun

no one lives that life too long

just in time somebody can along

with her help i just might save my soul

sometimes i wake up at night

from dreams of fire burning bright

i pray that i don't ever lose control

and so now sh keep it locked away. i might have hung up my shotgun

but i didn't put it up so high

that i can't reach up and get it back down

if you give me a reason why

still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

a couple of rounds of buckshot will go a long long way

once i had a good run

but i hung up my shotgun. i might have hung up my shotgun

but i didn't put it up so high

that i can't reach up and get it back down

if you give me a reason why

still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

a couple of rounds of buckshot will go a long long way

once i had a good run

but i hung up my shotgun. yeah i hung up my shotgun
