Shotgun

Once I was a gamblin' man

I kept my pistol by my hand

Got my work done by the light of the moon

Evil deeds made up my mind

I traded peace for troubled times

Wickedness and whiskey were my fuel

Oh but now I keep locked away

I might've hung up my shotgun

But I didn't put it up so high

That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why

Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way

Once I had a good run,

But I hung up my shotgun

No one lives that life too long

Just in time somebody came along

With her help, I just might save myself

Sometimes I wake up at night,

Dreams of fire burnin' bright

Pray that I don't ever lose control

And so now I keep locked away

I might've hung up my shotgun

But I didn't put it up so high

That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why

Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way

Once I had a good run,

But I hung up my shotgun

I might've hung up my shotgun

But I didn't put it up so high

That I can't reach up and get it back down, if you give me a reason why

Still got a few shells itchin' to see the light of day

Couple rounds of buck shot go a long, long way

Once I had a good run,

But I hung up my shotgun

Yeah I hung up my shotgun
