Shot Down

By Omaha Outlaw

 

I got my rig, and I’m ready to shoot

My cowboy hat, and a new pair of boots

Shirt and pants, and a real fancy vest

I know in my mind, I’m as good as the rest

 

Load and make ready, came the command

Drop in my bullets, with my shaky right hand

Shooter on the line, Shooter SET!

My mouth is dry and my palms are wet

 

The light came on, and I let her fly

Oh my God! My shot went high

What went wrong, that ran through my mind

I did it so perfect, time after time

 

This time for sure, they will all watch in awe

They gave the command, a lightening fast draw

Now that’s a good shot, I was standing there thinking

But when the smoke cleared, their light was blinking

 

Here I am standing, my ego a mess

When I looked at his chaps, it was really a dress

Off came the hat, and down came the curls

Then it really sank in, I got beat by a girl!

 

She stuck out her hand, and I swallowed my pride

She gave me a smile, at least a mile wide

I stood there in shock, staring in awe

That’s my first experience, with Cowboy Fast Draw

 

As I walked from the line, I mustered a grin

Given the chance, I’ll do it again

I’m practicing real hard, and I’m here to warn ya

I’ll see you in October, in Los Banos, California!
