Shotgun Rider
Tim Mc Graw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl wherever sweet time takes us
Hang, with me down this old road
Only god knows where we’ll go
Don’t matter long as I’ve got your love
I don’t ever want to wake up
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, Woohoo Oh O
Slide, slide over nice and close
Lay your head down on my shoulder
You can fall asleep I’ll let you
Dream, life aint nothing but a dream, don’t wanna be
Cruisin’ through this dream without you
I don’t ever want to wake up
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, woo hoo oh oh
No other shotgun rider, oh oh
I don’t ever want to wake up
Lookin’ into someone else’s eyes
Another Voice calling me baby
On the other end of the phone
A new girl puttin’ on her makeup
Before dinner on Friday night
No I don’t ever wanna know, oh oh
No other shotgun rider, beside me, singin’ to the radio, woo hoo oh oh
No other shotgun rider, oh oh
Singin’ to the radio, oh oh
You’re my shotgun rider
The lyrics to Tim McGraw's "Shotgun Rider" depict a couple on a journey together, not knowing where they're headed as long as they have each other's love. The song has a sense of timelessness and hints at a longing for a deep connection that can transcend the mundane aspects of life. The singer expresses the desire to have his partner be the only "shotgun rider" by his side, singing to the radio and enjoying the journey together. Through the imagery of driving down an open road, the lyrics suggest the freedom and adventure of being with someone who is your perfect companion.
The song's lyrics also tap into the singer's fear of losing that special someone by emphasizing the importance of staying together, not wanting to wake up looking into someone else's eyes, hearing another voice on the phone, or going out with a new girl on Friday nights. The repeated chorus, "No other shotgun rider, beside me, singing to the radio, woo hoo oh oh," reinforces the idea that having that one special person by your side is the key to true happiness and fulfillment in life.

I'm Mexican-American, and I live in Tennessee where country is BIG. In my 10 years here, I've never liked country or the culture, up until I met this one woman in High School, and I just started listening and liking the type of music and the whole country culture. We are the best of friends, and I sort of fell for her. This really reminds me of her. And just a reminder. I'm Mexican-American. I've been here 10 years. And I'm just now beginning to like and understand this type of genre and music. As well as the culture.
