Shotgun Rider lyrics

Well I been a-ridin' shotgun on the Houston-Dallas stage

I got me a sawed-off hogleg

Twenty is the number gauge

I'd shoot anybody that would try

To stop this ride

A lot of outlaws tried it, a lot of outlaws died

Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider, Shotgun rider

I was sheriff down in Austin a long, long time ago

A hangin' judge was a-my best friend

And he never let a poor soul go

I left that town for a better job a-ridin' on this stage

Shootin' outlaws with this gun

Is how I won my fame
