Shotgun - Lyrics - Tanya Tucker

Tanya Denise Tucker is an American female country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13. Over the succeeding decades, Tucker became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend".

As you travel down the trail of life there'll be dangers you'll encounter Many rivers you will have to cross in a lost territory There'll be mountains high and valleys low But wherever you go I wanna ride shotgun be by your side Down the road of life, come rain or shine I wanna be someone who's always there by you To protect your heart with a love that's true Until the journey's done, I wanna ride shotgun There'll be deserts you can't cross alone without someone there beside you But together we can tame the West Raid the bad lands, face the bandits 'Cos I love you with a love too strong To let you go all alone I wanna ride shotgun, be by your side Down the road of life, come rain or shine I wanna be someone who's always there by you To protect your heart with a love that's true Until the journey's done I wanna ride shotgun, Be by your side Down the road of life, come rain or shine I wanna be someone who's always there by you To protect your heart with a love that's true Until the journey's done, I wanna ride shotgun ooh I wanna ride shotgun ooh Raid the bad lands I wanna ride shotgun Face the bandits I wanna ride shotgun ooh
