Volbeat - Shotgun Blues Lyrics

Volbeat Lyrics

"Shotgun Blues"

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
