If I had a dollar for each time you let me down
Then I would be the rich man long ago
But the thing with lofty notions is you gotta let them go
Relieve yoursef of proof
Believe in higher truth
And look for deeper meaning like the way the 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 roadhouse always puts us in the mood
Just as we cross the track
I watch you knock 'em back
And though we see those city lights
Instead we hit the sack
And I only ride shotgun for you
Highways bring on lonliness
But I won't beg forgiveness
'Cause that is where I'm happiest to be
Oh, with you there next to me
So send them my regards
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
