Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
(Yow! One, two)
Out on the town, looking for a woman
Gonna give me good love
Anybody want to hand off me
And give me plenty of
She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like she's something to sell
I said, baby what's the going price?
She told me to go to hell
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Singles bar, got my eye on a honey
Hanging out everywhere
She might be straight
She might want my money
I really don't care, no
Said, baby, you're driving me crazy
Laid it out on the line
When a guy with a chip on his shoulder said
Toss off buddy she's mine
Oh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame, yea yeah
To be shot down in flames
Hey you Angus, shoot me, shoot
That's nice, woo! Uh! Oh! Oh! Wooooh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Oh
Shot
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
I don't want the pain
Don't want to be shot down in flames
Ohhh
Out on the town, looking for a woman
Gonna give me good love
Anybody want to hand off me
And give me plenty of
She was standing alone over by the jukebox
Like she's something to sell
I said, baby what's the going price?
She told me to go to hell
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Singles bar, got my eye on a honey
Hanging out everywhere
She might be straight
She might want my money
I really don't care, no
Said, baby, you're driving me crazy
Laid it out on the line
When a guy with a chip on his shoulder said
Toss off buddy she's mine
Oh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame, yea yeah
To be shot down in flames
Hey you Angus, shoot me, shoot
That's nice, woo! Uh! Oh! Oh! Wooooh!
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
Oh
Shot
Shot down in flames
Shot down in flames
Ain't it a shame
To be shot down in flames
I don't want the pain
Don't want to be shot down in flames
Ohhh

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
yea i can definately relate to this
a fat bottomed rocker chick had her hair all cute like.

The first verse is about going out to a club and seeing a girl all dressed up like a cheap whore and when you go over to ask her price, you find out she's not a prostitute and then you feel like a jackass. The second verse is about going up to some hot chick in a bar and having her boyfriend come over just as you make your move. It's happened so many times to so many people that everyone can relate to this song.
Anybody can relate to this song... I love how the guitars drop off on the first verse... She told me to got hell... (Silence) SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES!
I love this song, my favorite off of Highway... and in top 5 of my favorite Bon songs (Dirty Deeds, TNT, Squealer, SDIF, The Jack in no particular order)
This song means you've been rejected so bad, you feel like you've been shot down. You think you're gonna get a girl, but it turns out she doesn't like you back or another guy got her. But hey, don't worry, It ain't a shame To be shot down in flames
