Shot Down In Flames Lyrics

(Yow! One, Two)
Out on the town, looking for a woman
Gonna give me good love
Anybody want to hang out with me?
And maybe burn me up?
She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like she's something to sell
I said, "Baby what's the going price?"
She told me to go to hell

CHORUS:
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames

Singles bar, got my eye on a honey
Hanging out everywhere
She might be straight
She might want my money
I really don't care, no
Said, "Baby, you're driving me crazy"
Layed it out on the line."
When a guy with a chip on his shoulder said
"Toss off buddy she's mine"
Oh!

CHORUS:
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames

Hey you Angus, shoot me, shoot
That's nice, wow! Uh! Oh! Oh! Wooooh!

CHORUS:
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames

Oh
Shot

CHORUS:
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames

I don't want to be in pain
Don't want to be shot down in flames
Ohhh

Simply one of the greatest rock n' roll songs ever put on record.

Cover art for Shot Down In Flames lyrics by AC/DC

The first verse is about going out to a club and seeing a girl all dressed up like a cheap whore and when you go over to ask her price, you find out she's not a prostitute and then you feel like a jackass. The second verse is about going up to some hot chick in a bar and having her boyfriend come over just as you make your move. It's happened so many times to so many people that everyone can relate to this song.

This song means you've been rejected so bad, you feel like you've been shot down. You think you're gonna get a girl, but it turns out she doesn't like you back or another guy got her. But hey, don't worry, It ain't a shame To be shot down in flames
