Two Shots

Lyrics

This song was first released on the Windsong Album. It is the only album it has been released on.
 I took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold hands
 Last night while I was out drinking
 Trying to have a good time
 The lady with whom I was speaking
 Thought I was feeding her some old line
 When I spoke of a cold winter's morning
 A duck blind and a river of gray
 The sound of the snow softly falling
 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
 That 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
 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 speaking
 She laughed lightly and 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
 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
