Shot down the road

   
           A shell is all I've ever known,    
           but I've never been a cowboy;    
          the bar has never been my home,    
          but i sure could hold one down(shots/drink);    
          the doc could never cure my aches,    
          the shots with empty guns I'd take;    
          A shell is all I've ever known,    
           man I've never been around;    
           I've seen so many of her face,    
           I couldn't help but feel misplaced;    
            A stranger in a crazy place,    
            that we all know as town;    
            I've seen her on the silver screen,    
            then after later in a dream;    
            I wake to walk the road once more;    
             the aches my insides do endure;    
             of course I'd have to just ignore,    
             the fact, no knocking at this door;    
             the bar is high, my coins are low;    
             I'll watch the dancers on the floor;    
             A shell is all I've ever known;    
              I'm different from the crowd;    
              I notice art, just not in war;    
              my body's prone to feeling sore;    
              quick draws at every corner store;    
             while all I picture, is amore;    
              but god knows I just cant afford,    
              the goddess all the guys adore....
