Shotgun Shell Lyrics

I used to love my baby
Yes, I loved her a lot
So I took her on down
To the used car lot
I was looking at a shiny red Chevrolet

And then she ran away
With some guy named Clay
I got a date with my baby
And a shotgun shell

I'm going to take her out
And blow her to Hell
Got a date with my baby
And a shotgun shell
I'm going to take her out
And blow her to Hell

I used to love my baby
She's the love of my life
But I waited to long
Sometimes we're low
To try to make her my wife

And sometimes we're high
And now she's getting married
To another guy
I got a date with my baby

And a shotgun shell
I'm going to take her out
And blow her to Hell
Got a date with my baby
And a shotgun shell
I'm going to take her out
And blow her to Hell

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.
