Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Shotgun Rider. By Songfacts®.

This romantic song finds McGraw lovingly singing of never wanting another shotgun rider beside him. He just wants it to be with that special someone. "I don't ever want to wake up, looking into someone else's eyes. I don't want no other shotgun rider beside me, singing to the radio." McGraw is singing of his wife, Faith Hill, whom he's been married to since 1996.

Does the title ring a bell? Back in 2007 McGraw recorded a duet with Faith Hill titled "Shotgun Rider" for his 2007 album Let It Go. This is an entirely different song.

McGraw premiered the song on February 19, 2014 during Jimmy Fallon's first week hosting of The Tonight Show. "I thought since it's Jimmy's first week we should give his audience something they can't get anywhere else," McGraw explained of his choice of a new tune. "It's been a great week for the show already, and I'm honored Jimmy invited me to the party!"
