someone said let’s go somewhere
he said his car can take us there
someone said hey that’s not fair
but we all heard it, it’s fair and square
[chorus]
shotgun, I got a job to do
shotgun, choose the tunes
shotgun, look out for cops
shotgun, I’m feeling alright
Crew is looking for something to do
ride up the mountain check out the view
have a look around and when we’re done
I always remember to call
[chorus]
[bridge]
“you know I got it”, first call wins
“you know I got it”, you know the rule
“you know I got it” you wish you called it
“you know I got it” I get to be cool
[chorus]
NSAI comments: conversational style works, good vibe, improved cadence! Needs background vocals. Needs more rhyme in chorus and bridge. Too many “you know I got it”. Still one comment about the melody not being clear, something I am specifically working on.

shotgun, I got a job to do

Be more positivity about sitting up front, less about the losers

that’s where you losers belong
because you know you didn’t call

but we all heard it, it’s fair and square
[chorus]

shotgun, you know the rule
calling it means they’re sitting up front
shotgun, we all heard it
shotgun, fair and square

front door open when someone called it
now being told where to sit
make losers move before we cruise
shotgun in charge of the grooves
sitting by the driver has duties
expected that front seat knows these
can’t complain and have to navigate
most of all they have to stay awake
[chorus]

the girls said let’s go somewhere
walking to my truck we all heard it
[chorus]
shotgun
heard by everyone
shotgun
gonna sit up front
shotgun
you know the rule
shotgun gets to
sit up front
the front seat is where it’s at
the losers sat packed in the back
that’s where all the losers belong
knowing that they never called
[chorus]
peeps had a fit when she called it
she used the rules of where to sit
losers move before we cruise
shotgun up front in charge of the grooves
RULE: look cool, made everyone move, before we cruise, in charge of grooves,
CALLED: belonged, wronged,
LAW: call, and all, belong,
right then and there
leaving the fair
she was the one
that yelled shotgun
she climbed into
the front of my truck
would forever be the one
I knew she was the one
she would forever
be calling shotgun
