lyrics

Forget what you heard
I left my bleeding heart in Harrisonburg
Sleeping on the floor with the shadows
With the big trucks shaking the windows

I felt the life bleed out of me
Like the faded lights of the factory

I know it brings you down
I can't go back to Shepherdstown
My right hand stayed glued to my weakness
While my left hand carried your secrets

I watched my life slip from my grasp
Like a viper through the grass

Bury me in the holler
That's named for my family
Blue eyes of my father
Grandma's willow tree
Set me free

You know I'll be alright
Just keep the city out of sight
What's the point to name a home?
It's just another place to be alone

Scatter me with the summer seeds
And I'll grow as tall as the silver queen

about

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."
