John Denver - 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 handsLast 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 winters 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 oneHed 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, Id hoped she would stayIts so nice to talk to somebodyTo find someone whos willing to shareI know that this life is worth livingBut sometimes it just isnt fairI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold handsI took two shots, got no ducks, and cold, cold handsWords and music by john denver
