Shotgun Rider

Shotgun Rider - Bachman-Turner Overdrive

There was a man who owned a part of Town

Approached me in his own saloon

And said hey boy sit down

Was i unemployed or would i like a job

He said he owned the stageline

And were men who liked to rob

He offered me his daughter's

Hand advance of salary

A fancy gun a pair of boots

A share in the company

Now i ride shotgun on his stageline

I ride shotgun on his life

I ride shotgun on his money

I ride shotgun on his wife

Shotgun rider shotgun rider

There were outlaws who waited on the trail

For the stagecoach daily run

With payrolls and the mail

They spied our dust and saddled up to tide

They saw the worried driver

With me sittin at his side

They circled round the stagecoach

It was their daily fun

Until they saw the driver smile

And spied my trusty gun

Now i ride shotgun on his stageline

I ride shotgun on his life

I ride shotgun on his money

I ride shotgun on his wife

Shotgun rider shotgun rider

We caught the outlaws

And took them back to jail

Sent for the county marshall

And would not post a bail

Sent'em up the river ha

That sure cleaned up the town

I was elected sheriff and

The mayor asked me down

I now own half the stageline

And half the rest of town

I go to church on sunday

I think i've settled down

Now i ride shotgun on his stageline

I ride shotgun on his life

I ride shotgun on his money

I ride shotgun on his wife

I ride shotgun on his stageline

I ride shotgun on his life

I ride shotgun on his money

I ride shotgun on his wife

Shotgun rider shotgun rider shot

Gonna shoot'em out don't get in my way
