Shotgun Rider Lyrics

When the sun comes up. I got to leave this town
But I love you layin' here with me
I'd like to stay but I can't hang around
So if you'd like to come with me

And me my shotgun rider, my love provider
I feel so lonely on the road
Be my shotgun rider, sweet love provider
And be my shelter from the pain and cold
Well, that's the way I live, I like to travel light

And I've done my lovin' on the run
I don't know what you did to me
But I know you did it right
Baby, please don't stop, we've just begun

And me my shotgun rider, my love provider
I need you with me down the road
So be my shotgun rider, sweet love provider
And be my shelter from the pain and cold
Shotgun rider, shotgun rider

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
