Denver John - Two Shots Lyrics
Last night while I was out drinkingTrying to have a good timeThe lady with whom I was speakingThought I was feeding her some old lineWhen I spoke of a cold winter's morningA duck blind and a river of grayThe sound of the snow softly fallingWhen I thought I heard somebody sayI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold handsI could tell by the gaze of my comradesThat I was the one who had spokeTheir eyes held a message of patienceThe thrill of the hunt and of hopeBut when I spoke again how they listenedFor the wisdom of what I might sayIf the good Lord had meant us to shoot oneHe'd surely send more ducks our wayI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold handsWell the lady with whom I was speakingShe laughed lightly and she wandered awayMy heart, like the snow in my storyFell silent, I'd hoped she would stayIt's so nice to talk to somebodyTo find someone who's willing to shareI know that this life is worth livingBut sometimes it just isn't fairI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold handsI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands
