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
