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 gotta 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
Heading out with you behind the wheel is like a poem
I hold my tongue and exercise restraint
That old familiar road house always puts us in a mood
Just as we cross the track, I watch you knock 'em back
And tho' we see those city lights, instead we hit the sack
And I only ride shotgun for you!
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!
So send them my regard 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
