Triple O bucks the only shot for me
Cut you right off at the knee
No need to bother the police
I've got my Mossberg 590

Smooth bore, scatter-gun, you are the only one
To cover me when I sleep, cover me in my dreams
Carry a smooth bore
Scatter-gun, steal from me there'll be no time to run
I got the bead on you, she fires true
Take what you want and I'll do what I have to do
Smooth bore, scatter-gun, scatter-gun, scatter-gun

Chorus:
Smooth bore, scatter-gun, you are the only one
To cover me when I sleep
Cover me in my dreams carry a smooth bore
Scatter-gun, scatter-gun, scatter-gun
