[Verse 1]
You said I was, for far too long, away
I said, I know but I will find a way
To be here longer, be by your side for days
And you said "Okay, but please don't make me wait"

[Bridge]
You're never gotta shoot me down
I said I'm gonna be around, gimme a chance to prove it
Never gotta shoot me down
I said I'm gonna run the town and I'll prove it

[Verse 1]
You said I was, for far too long, away
I said, I know and I will find a way
To be here longer, be by your side for days
And you said "Okay, please don't make me wait"

Please don't–

[Hook]
Out of town, city limits
Never shoot me down, down, down
Couple laughs, couple spirits
You'll never shoot me down, down, down
Out of town, city limits
Never shoot me down, down, down
Couple laughs, couple spirits
But never shoot me down, down
[Verse 2]
You said I just always seemed a mile away
I said, "I know, I get kinda led astray"
Come home, see me
Act like everything's okay
And you said, "That's cool, but please don't make me wait"

[Bridge]
Never gotta shoot me down
I said I'm gonna be around, gimme a chance to prove it
Never gotta shoot me down
I said I'm gonna run the town and I'll prove it

[Verse 1]
You said I was, for far too long, away
I said, I know and I will find a way
To be here longer, be by your side for days
And you said "Okay, please don't make me wait"

Please don't–

[Hook]
Out of town, city limits
Never shoot me down, down, down
Couple laughs, couple spirits
You'll never shoot me down, down, down
Out of town, city limits
Never shoot me down, down, down
Couple laughs, couple spirits
But never shoot me down, down
[Outro]
But never shoot me down
But never shoot me down, down, down
But never shoot me down
But never shoot me down
But never shoot me down
But never shoot me down, down, down
But never shoot me down
But never shoot me down
