lyrics

Traded in my life in the holler
For making bad decisions with a rolled up dollar
Chasing dimes just to catch a buzz
Gotta stay loose to shake the rust

Nobody said that it was easy
And nobody said it weren't hard
You may not be the joker
But you’re at least the wild card

Getting paid to sling that poison
Turn the amps up and bring the boys in
Keep the lights low so I can manage
Use my condition to take advantage

Nobody said that it was easy
Nobody said it weren't hard
If you want to reach the castle
You’ve got to start out in the yard

Break the branch where I be nesting
Finish your chores and get your rest in
Raise the flag and show your purpose
Then ask the dead if it was worth it

Nobody said that it was easy
Nobody said it weren't hard
You might light up like a candle
Just to wind up in the dark

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."
