About "Riding Shotgun"
I wrote this for Linda, of course. She means so much and everything to me so it was difficult trying to corral all of my thoughts and feelings for this wonderful woman into a song. Marshall Coats helped arrange and reign it in.

Lyrics
I told my Mama when I met you
I found a rare and feisty woman
We could be marooned upon the moon
And we’d get home – together we’d get home
With you riding shotgun
I played the fool and nearly lost us
I let us down a rocky road
We had gone so far beyond the stars
But we got home, together we got home
With you riding shotgun
God only knows what you see in me
A sweet ramblin’ rose with a wild tumbleweed
Two birds of a feather – together forever
We run , with you riding shotgun
If I go first to meet our Maker
I won’t have to fly alone
I believe your love, your energy
Will guide me home – like it’s always done
With you riding shotgun
God only knows what you see in me
A sweet ramblin’ rose with a wild tumbleweed
Two birds of a feather – together forever
We run , with you riding shotgun
Two birds of a feather – together forever in love
With you riding shotgun
From the real Author:
Proverbs 19:14
Houses and wealth are inherited from parents,
but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds what is good
and receives favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 31:10
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
