Someone I'd like to know
Equally afraid of sleep
Content to share this glow
A flame I'd like to keep
But I got in the way of all my sunny days
I could not maintain my self-destructive ways
Trouble can chase so far
Smoke signal in my eye
Sparrow my last alarm
Sometimes you gotta fly
But I got in the way of all my sunny days
I could not maintain my self-destructive ways
I know you couldn't stay
Selfishly want you here
We'll fight another day
You're never in the clear
I know you couldn't stay
Selfishly want you here
We'll live another day
You're never in the clear
But I got in the way of all my sunny days
I could not maintain my self-destructive ways

Even if I never catch you
At least it's pretty work to do
You're never easy on the heart
But you're easy on the eyes
Just lie and tell me it's easy
Because I know that it's not
Just lie and tell me it's easy
Because that's the one chance that I've got
Even if my stomach growls
We can drink those mountains down
You're never easy on the heart
But you're easy on the eyes
Just lie and tell me it's easy
Because I know that it's not
Just lie and tell me it's easy
Because that's the one chance that I've got

You used to know this place
Like the back of your hand
You're just a stupid boy
Thinks he's a man
It's part of growing up
You're lucky you're not dead
Fuck your retirement
I'm seeing red
But I'm just looking from the outside in
And I'm sure this ain't my piece of heaven
I know my chances are wearing thin
But where will you stand when it all explodes?
What you gonna do about it now?
What you gonna do about it now?
It's just one more round and you're knocked out
What you gonna do about it now?
I scatter broken glass
Across my hallway
'Cuz trouble's coming
For me today
I need another one
Just to get me through
It's easy when you got
Nothing to lose
But I'm just looking from the outside in
And I'm sure this ain't my piece of heaven
I know my chances are wearing thin
But where will you stand when it all explodes?
What you gonna do about it now?
What you gonna do about it now?
It's just one more round and you're knocked out
What you gonna do about it now?
You wanna get out
Well I wish you could
I'm gonna stick around
I'm feeling good
So take your desk job
And get outta my way
'Cuz there's some life left
In me today
But I'm just looking from the outside in
And I'm sure this ain't my piece of heaven
I know my chances are wearing thin
But where will you stand when it all explodes?
What you gonna do about it now?

Tucker Riggleman & The Cheap Dates Morgantown, West Virginia
“Musically, 'Shotgun' sounds like the result of Steve Earle hopping on stage with Big Star in a dimly lit dive bar with a
healthy dose of early Old 97’s. Riggleman’s voice rings with a prophetic honesty over overdriven guitar chords. The song’s mid-tempo lilt sounds like the open road."
