Shotgun Blues - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Now, I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
Now, I'm a man baby
I ain't no boy no more
I spent twelve years in prison
Here I am standin' at your door
I'd go to work in the morning
Your other man come creeping around
I'd go to work in the morning
Saw another man come creeping around
'Til I came home with a shotgun, baby
He was dead before 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
I ain't afraid of no man
Whiskey and wine are my only friends
Yes, I ain't afriad of no man
Still got a shotgun in my hands
But I'm afriad to come inside
I just might do it all over again
