John Denver "Two Shots" |
I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold hands Last night while I was out drinkin' Tryin' to have a good time The lady with whom I was speakin' Thought I was feedin' her some old line When I spoke of a cold winters mornin' A duck blind and a river of grey The sound of the snow softly fallin' When I thought I heard somebody say I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands I could tell by the gaze of my comrades, I was the one who had spoke Their eyes held a message of patience The thrill of the hunt and of hope But when I spoke again, how they listened For the wisdom of what I might say If the Good Lord had meant us to shoot one, my friends He'd surely send more ducks our way I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands Well the lady with whom I was speakin' She laughed lightly she wandered away My heart like the snow in my story Fell silent- I'd hoped she would stay It's so nice to talk to somebody To find someone who's willing to share I know that this life is worth living, yes it is But sometimes it just isn't fair I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
