INTRO: verse 1 If I had a dollar for each time you let me down Then I'd have been a rich man long ago But the thing with lofty notions is you got to let them go Relieve yourself of proof Believe in higher truth And look for deeper meaning like the way that poets do So I only ride shotgun for you verse 2 Heading out with you behind the wheel is like a poem I hold my tongue and exercise restraint That old familiar roadhouse always puts us in the mood Just as we cross the track I watch you knock them back And though we see those city lights Instead, we hit the sack I only ride shotgun for you BRIDGE Highways bring on loneliness but I won't beg forgiveness 'Cause that is where I'm happiest to be With you there next to me Instrumental: verse 3 So I'll send them my regards In that dark and moldy bar Now I won't have to gamble 'cause that's always where you are But like a shooting star, I'm useless from afar So I'm blazing for glory to come get you in my car And darling, you know my aim is true 'Cause I only ride shotgun for you
