chet o’keefe – game bird lyrics
well i shot me a little game bird last night
little red holes in the feathers white
it took three shots to shoot it right
and then little black eyes unknown
there was a racket in the woods from the shotgun blast
body still warm from the life just p-ssed
well some live long and some life fast
and then little black eyes unknown
my mind races and my ears ring
well it’s hard to do ‘most anything
all i need is a quiet place to sing
yeah where i can hear the wind
well it used to be i couldn’t see no trace
of my worried mind and my troubled face
well i used to walk in a state of grace
well but that’s all over now
i used to work all day and have something to show
i used to have me fine place to go
well i used to be warm (?) now i don’t know
say which way should i turn
my mind races and my ears ring
well it’s hard to do ‘most anything
all i need is a quiet place to sing
yeah where i can hear the wind
so i parked my old truck in a field of snow
just a tin can shack and the full moon glow
it’s a sorry and a simple way to go
yeah no one sees me here
well it used to be i never slept alone
i used to have me a wife and a happy home
i used to have me a daughter she should’a been grown
she used to shine like the sun
and if i listen real hard i can still hear her voice
she’s laughin’ and singin’ and carryin’ on
skinny little legs in a cavical (?) dress
she’s skippin’ down the wind
my mind races and my ears ring
well it’s hard to do ‘most anything
but i found me a quiet place to sing
yeah where i can hear the wind
well i shot me a little game bird last night
and then little black eyes unknown
