Well I ain't no double o seven I ain't no double o 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

[ horns ]

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 but I bet you now 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
