There was a kid so low, he couldn't stand up
No money, no respect and too much bad luck
Desperation had gotten to him at last
It was dark
Dark alley and a shot gun blast
And I, knew a man everyone thought
Was out of his mind
He had a cane and seemed to be around all the time
And it's a shame, when a car rolls past
It was dark
Dark alley and a shot gun blast

Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Until its out of your head
