Josh Grider Band - shotgun lyrics

rate me

Born in Kentucky on a bluegrass county line

he was the second son for a carpenter and his wife

moved west in '57 lookin for a better way never thought that he'd be there the rest of his life

what i wouldnt give to have known him as a young man

i wonder how he learned to fight and love and live

i wonder if the steps he took were anything like mine and i wonder if he and i would have been friends

wish i could have rode shotgun in his '69 chevell

i'd love to see what life was like back then

i wish i could have seen the road he walked down becoming my hero

i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him

man i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him

he soon learned the trsde of his familyline

workin with his hands he took great pride

but the best decision that that old boy ever made is when he took that silver city girl for his bride

soon he found him self the head of a family

and me and my brothers we were fortunate sons

but there were no silver spoons feeding our mouths

just a lot of hard work and faith and father and son

wish i could have rode shotgun in his '69 chevell

i'd love to see what life was like back then

i wish i could have seen the road he walked down becoming my hero

i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him

man i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him

now adays he's showin little gray from all the years and miles he's left behind

and i've come to appreciate his life philosophy

he said Yesterdays gone so keep movin on everything will work out if you just give it time

wish i could have rode shotgun in that '69 chevell

i'd love to see what life was like back then

i'd love to see the rode he walked down becoming my hero

i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him

man i'd learn so much if i could walk that road with him<br />
