[00:06.53]If I had a dollar for each time you let me down
[00:12.47]Then I would be the rich man long ago
[00:18.87]But the thing with lofty notions is you gotta let them go
[00:25.26]Relieve yoursef of proof
[00:28.41]Believe in higher truth
[00:31.54]And look for deeper meaning like the way the poets do
[00:37.82]So I only ride shotgun for you
[00:45.07]Heading out with you behind the wheel is like a poem
[00:50.61]I hold my tongue and exercise restraint
[00:57.25]That old familiar roadhouse always puts us in the mood
[01:03.78]Just as we cross the track
[01:06.93]I watch you knock 'em back
[01:10.09]And though we see those city lights
[01:13.35]Instead we hit the sack
[01:16.26]And I only ride shotgun for you
[01:23.61]Highways bring on lonliness
[01:26.38]But I won't beg forgiveness
[01:29.57]'Cause that is where I'm happiest to be
[01:36.29]Oh, with you there next to me
[01:51.41]So send them my regards
[01:54.90]In that dark and moldy bar
[01:58.22]Now I won't have to gamble
[02:01.19]'Cause that's always where you are
[02:04.56]But like a shooting star
[02:07.92]I'm useless from afar
[02:10.93]So I'm blazing for glory
[02:13.95]To come get you in my car
[02:17.30]And darling you know my aim is true
[02:24.01]'Cause I only ride shotgun for you
[02:30.44]🎵
