There's an old man living in my neighbourhood
A mangy old mutt with a rusted hood
He lives alone in the trunk of his Chevy Bel-Air
You can hear his life's story for a bottle of beer

"Women hold the key to the secret of life
So if you need some lovin' take 'em home for the night
But if you want to stay happy
Don't make a woman your wife."

He said
"Love is like living with a shotgun
Baby when it's loaded, well it's no fun
Even when it's empty, it's still dumb
Love is like living with a shotgun."

There's a old woman working Highway 17
She's got the biggest beehive man I've ever seen
A rose tattoo and a one glass eye
She says, "It ain't easy being some man's wife."

"Men are good for one thing and that's alright
So if you need some lovin' take 'em home for the night
But if you want to stay happy, don't become some man's wife."

She said
"Love is like living with a shotgun
Baby when it's loaded, well it's no fun
Even when it's empty, it's still dumb
Love is like living with a shotgun."

Love is like living with a shotgun
Baby when it's loaded, well it's no fun
Even when it's empty, it's still dumb
Love is like living with a shotgun

That old man and woman well they're married now
Don't ask me why baby, don't ask how
It's one of those foolish things,
Men and women keep doin'

Love is like living with a shotgun
Baby when it's loaded, well it's no fun
Even when it's empty, it's still dumb
Love is like living with a shotgun

Love is like living with a shotgun
Baby when it's loaded, well it's no fun
Even when it's empty, it's still dumb
Love is like living with a shotgun

Love is like living with a shotgun
