  • Run, get my shotgun
    Give me two shells in my hand
    Run, get my shotgun
    Put two shells in my hand
    It's a bullet for my baby

    A dedication for her backdoor man
    Two kinds of people
    Two kind of people I just cannot stand
    Two kinds of people
    Two kind of people I just cannot stand

    One is a lone woman
    The other is a cheatin' man
    Organ and guitar solo
    Run, get my shotgun
    Put two shells in my hand

    Please run, get my shotgun
    Put two shells in my hand
    I'm gonna kill my baby
    And blast and blast her fancy man Writer/s: John Martin, John Mayo, John Sparks, Lee Brilleaux
