Call Shotgun

I fired up my Chevy and I filled it up
Cruisin' down to the shore
I got a case of trouble in the trunk
And I was lookin' for more
So, I picked up Jack at this tin-covered shack
Said he was a-lookin' for fun
I said I got some work to do
And I could use a hand
He just shrugged and said
I call shotgun

Call Shotgun

There was an old quarry at the edge of town
Ain't no one been there for years
Me and Jack, we leaned on the fenders
And we opened up a couple of beers
He said, So tell me why we're out here alone
Aren't you still married to Jim
I gave him a side-eye and I tried not smile
I said, we're here because of him

Call shotgun
Call shotgun

Jack took the keys, opened the trunk
And I saw how his eyes grew wide
He said, I wondered what took you so long
I said, I just had enough this time
Jack took his shoulders and I took his knees
And we took him to the edge of the cliff
And we threw him in to the black water
I was finally done with him

I called shotgun
Call shotgun

Did he think I'd turn a blind eye when he was sneakin' around
I was his ride or die, we took a vow
I knew his secrets
And I heard the whispers
And a train named Revenge came to town
I called shotgun

Call shotgun
Call shotgun

Two people can keep a secret
Only if one of them is dead
It was two years later and two states over
When they fished out the evidence
Jack spilled his guts at the prison door
Now, everyone knew what I'd done
And as they took me to the cruiser, they asked me why
I just smiled and said, I call shotgun

Call shotgun
