Kenny Wayne Shepherd › Lyrics › Shotgun Blues

Yeah, now I'm a man, baby
I ain't no boy no more
Well, now I'm a man, baby
And I ain't no boy no more
I spent 12 years in prison
Here I am standin' at your door

I go to work in the morning
Your other man come creepin' around
Yeah, I go to work every morning
Saw your other man come creepin' around, I shot him
Till I come home with this shotgun, baby
He was dead 'fore he hit the ground
I shot him down, oh, I shot him down

Oh, I did my time, baby
And I still want you here with me
Well, I served my time, baby
But with you I will never be free
A broken man all alone
Is what I ain't never gonna be

Oh, I ain't afraid of no man
Whiskey and wine are my only friends
Yes, I ain't afraid of no man
Still got a shotgun in my hands
Well, I'm afraid to come inside
I just might do it all over again
