Josh Grider Band - Shotgun Lyrics

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
