Story Behind The Song

Many a movie ago, I was binge watching various gangster flicks and ended up putting this one together. This is an older one that I recorded using a Tascam 244 Portastudio... if ya listen for it you might hear some wow/flutter of the cassette tape! Fun times bouncin' tracks!

Shot From the Back Seat
Lyrics and Music By Frank Pietrantoni
Frank Pietrantoni (Vocals), Leslie Christensen (Vocals)


Jimmy was a rat who was chancin' to beat the light
His pin striped silk was singin' through the night
This pigeon never saw it comin', the sight's behind
Last thing Jimmy saw was his own life before his eyes

Shot from the back seat ya got no place to hide
Shot from the back seat ya got no chance to ride

Frankie settled in, thought his story was nice and tight.
His friends for years were sittin' by his side.
And he shared a laugh and told a tale without the truth,
And at that moment he was met with what his friends were there to do.

Shot from the back seat ya got no place to hide
Shot from the back seat ya got no chance to ride
Shot from the back seat ya got no place to hide
Shot from the back seat ya got no chance to ride

-Solo-

Shot from the back seat
Shot from the back seat
Shot from the back seat
