Lyrics
Shotgun Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Living in darkness, became a burden in daylight
Carrying the souls of the dead and
Feeding them with life
Stop wearing me out
I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith
You’re living a second life
That don’t belong to you
Step out of my body
I believe you like it too
Stop wearing me out
I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith
You’re now leaving
I couldn’t rule with you
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
32 years have gone
You’re now on the other side
Leaving with good energy
A blessing in disguise
Stop wearing me out
I present you the gate
I'm passing you over and leave you with faith
You’re now leaving
I couldn’t rule with you
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
You’re now leaving
I couldn’t rule with you
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
How you feeling?
Do you love it too?
One minute to sing
The shotgun blues
