[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F C
I grew up in a shotgun house, just a stringy-haired millhand's kid
C D7
No numbers on the front, they all look the same and you had to know where you
G7
lived
C F C
So we'd count the houses 'til we came to ours and it always worked out right
F C G7 C
But somehow, my hard-working millhand pa lost count every Saturday night
[Chorus]
F C
He'd holler Ma's name to the top of his lungs and raise up an awful fuss
F D7 G7
Ma'd tell us kids we'd better be still if we knew what was good for us
C F C
So sometimes he'd find his way back home to his kids and his loving spouse
F C G7
But many was a night he slept under the porch of somebody else's shotgun
C
house
[Piano Solo]
F C G7 C
[Verse 2]
C F C
The years have passed and I've grown up, I've got a family all my own
C D7 G7
But things don't seem much different now, we call a shotgun house our home
C F C
I work hard at the mill all week and I try to treat my family right
F C G7 C
But just like my pappy, there's too many bars on the way home Saturday night
[Chorus]
F C
So I stand outside and I holler real loud, "Honey, won't you turn on the
light?"
F D7 G7
But this sweet little woman won't guide me in and it looks like a rainy night
