Lyrics The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Like a Shotgun

There is no argument here to avoid

And I just had a way of living I enjoyed

A selfish way to live but by design

I was so self centered at the time

You were us and I was only me

And you were only waiting patiently

I think I told you I'm not sure

That I'm so goddamn insecure

A far more much much greater force

Can knock you back and off of course

Like a shotgun if there ever was one

Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun

And it was not intentional

And I am unconventional

Knocked down with a shotgun blast

I've got a feeling that it's gonna last

And if it's happening to me

I'm as happy as someone like me could be

I'm not so sure but what I said was true

That's no excuse for what I put you through

And it's just awful if that's how you feel

I'm awfully sorry for the whole ordeal

The sadness and the sorrow and the pain

I swear to God and promise once again

That I will get around to showing you

So now I'm goddamn going to

A far more much much greater force

Can knock you back and off of course

Like a shotgun if there ever was one

Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun

And it was not intentional

And I am unconventional

Knocked down with a shotgun blast

I've got a feeling that it's gonna last

And if it's happening to me

I'm as happy as someone like me could be now

Could be now

Like a shotgun if there ever was one

Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun

And it was not intentional

And I am unconventional

Knocked down with a shotgun blast

I've got a feeling that it's gonna last

And if it's happening to me

I'm as happy as someone like me

Someone like me could be

Could be now
