Shotgun
Music Travel Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta hit the road, gotta hit the road
The sun it changed in the atmosphere
Architecture unfamiliar
I can get used to this
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
If you need me you know were I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone
The south of the equator, navigate it
Gotta hit the road, gotta hit the road
Deep-sea diving 'round the clock, bikini bottoms, lager tops
I could get used to this
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
There's a mountaintop that I'm dreaming of
If you need me you know were I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone oh
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone oh oh
We got two in the front
Two in the back
Sailing along
And we don't look back
Time flies by in the yellow and green
Stick around and you'll see what I mean
There's a mountaintop that I'm dreaming of
If you need me you know were I'll be
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone oh
I'll be riding shotgun underneath the hot sun
Feeling like a someone oh oh yeah
I'll be riding shotgun
I'll be riding shotgun
Oh oh oh

Bob and Clint you really nailed it! What a really nice song and voice of yours. My sons (5 and 2yr old) will really stop what they're doing the moment they heard this song. It brings something to their ears guys that makes them want to stop and just listen to your song. Thanks guys! Keep it up. Looking forward to all of your cover/original songs.
