about

Taken from the Songs of Mild Peril series.

Songs of Mild Peril are songs about life not always being as it seems. The flip-side. Literal meanings amidst the ambiguous, abstract, bleak and oblique. Songs about the world and the human condition from the comfort and terror of midlife.


Shotgun

He was in it for the trip but she took him for a ride...

lyrics

You were the book without the cover
Put on the shelf to be discovered
Placed so discreetly
Hidden completely
You were the book without the cover

Driving the road of no direction
Every wild heart needs protection
And though you’re still beating
Soon you’ll be meeting
The master of the road of no direction

As I put my foot down
A cloud of dust rose and you were trapped in shotgun
Through the wind and rain you put me through it all
And as I put the top down
Your last breath in the desert wind behind us
Took my hands off the wheel
Took a picture of the moment to remind us

You were the book without the cover
And you never thought you’d be discovered
What were the chances?
What were the chances?
You were the love without the lover

As I put my foot down
A cloud of dust rose and you were trapped in shotgun
Through the wind and rain you put me through it all
And as I put the top down
Your last breath in the desert wind behind us
Took my hands off the wheel
Took a picture of the moment to remind us

I put my foot down
A cloud of dust rose and you were riding shotgun
Through the wind and rain you put me through it all
Angels ride beside us
The devil right behind us
Take your finger off the trigger
I’m the one that takes the shot that will define us
