 I took two shots, got no ducks and cold, cold

hands

Last night while Mike and I were out drinking

Trying to have

  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

  duckblind and

  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

(spoken)

 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

(sing)

 It^?s so nice to talk to some body

 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
