Lyrics: Shotgun (06.10.06)

From the first time this song has been played, here are the lyrics:

He's holding
A shotgun in his hand
Like rainbows
Broken by the blast
Always
You take me back home
And I stumble like a dead man
Runnin on his last breath
Rain rain

And the first time
You play me like a fool
You make me wanna
Rain rain out
Why did you go
All the way inside my head
And take away control
I believed every word you said
But only to find
It was all a lie, baby

I screwed up
But can’t get back to wait on my way
Reign on
Like a bitter, evil King
The first time
I thought that I was in
Heaven

Heaven
The first time
I thought that I was in
Heaven
Like a shotgun
Blew away my head
That’s what it sounded like
Stumble like a nearly dead man
You make me
Cause I screwed up

    I haven't heard the song yet, but from looking at the lyrics, it seems to be about a love gone sour. Thanks for posting the lyrics and hosting the song!

    I hear "Like a bitter evil King"

  3. 3 Royce

    I definately hear "bitter evil King" as well.

  4. 4 Crystal

    It sounds like "Like a bitter evil King" also, at the end it sounds like "You MADE me", not "You make me"…..that's what I hear anyway.

  5. 5 B

    "Like rainbows, broken by the BLAST" - rather than "broken by the glass"….meaning the shotgun blast of course.

  7. 7 jarrett

    this new stuff is INCREDIBLE

  8. 8 lucas

    that song is pretty deep, and unreal already, if they do find a chorus it'll make it even more incredible.

  9. 9 Emily

    i adore all 3 songs as well. i really cannot wait to see them this year.

    I love the new stuff. Shotgun is OUTSTANDING !! The Dave Mathews Band continues to blow me away after all these years…

    I think it's reign rather than rain in a few spots. Especially the "bitter evil king" line

    I hear in the first line "Its 12:00 am" not "A strong man" What do you think?

    I've saw them at nissan, and they played a lot of new stuff. The whole show was incredible, the band gets better every year, unbelievable.
