lyrics

Well I was ridin' with my shotgun, the barrel on my knee
Wishin' it was you, wishin' I were me
Like neighboring' freight cars we'd travel round and round
A few feet between us our wheels on the ground
Rollin', rollin' round and round

Well I was ridin' with my shotgun, the barrel on my chest
Iff'n I was home would you hold me to your breast
Only for a moment, a moment two or three
I wouldn't tell a no-one, not even Tommy Lee
Tommy he's got money, but his money ain't no good
He couldn't ever treat you right, like I surely would
I'd give you everything I had, all that I possess
Iff'n you'd pick me over Tommy and the rest

Well Tommy beat me to it, he asked for your hand
He offered you a ring and more money than I had
You took him on his offer, you wedded him that night
And I went up to Tommy and offered him a fight
I shot him in the shoulder, he shot me in the chest
As I lay dying you held me to your breast
Only for a moment, a moment two or three
The last face I saw was Mrs. Tommy Lee

Well I was ridin' with my shotgun, the barrel on my knee
Wishin' it was you, wishin' I were me
Like neighboring' freight cars we'd travel round and round
A few feet between us our wheels on the ground
Rollin', rollin' round and round
