Shotgun Man

Well I ain't no double seven, I ain't no double soul
I'm not the coolest cat around, my love needs a Mohair Sam
I'm not the son of the seventh son
But I'm a next thing to a son-of-a-gun

They call me shotgun, honey, I'm the shotgun man
I may not be an engineer, baby
But I know how to run your train
I'm no firefighter either
But I know how to put out your flame
I'm a man that likes to have fun
Oh, I'm the next thing to a son-of-a-gun

Shotgun, honey, I'm the shotgun man
Whoa, play it boy

I can't howl like the howlin' wolf man
Can't talk that talk like old John R do
I'm the jack of all trades, man
But I bet you baby, I'm a son-of-a-gun
Shotgun, oh, they call me a shotgun man
Let's go now

I ain't afraid I'm not a livin' man
Up against any of-a them I stand
I know when to fight, and I know when to run
'Cause I'm a next thing to a son-of-a-gun
They call me shotgun, hey, I'm a shotgun man
Alright, let's rock it a little now

Shotgun, I'm a shotgun man
Whoa-oh, I'm a shotgun, I'm a shotgun man
