the sharpshooter lyrics
[verse 1]
the family of groundhogs in your father’s yard
the row of coca+cola cans, a firing squad
you put your sister’s eye out, when you were just fourteen
but she was still the prettiest sight the boys had ever seen

oh+

[verse 2]
the black bear in the driveway on a cold december night
the rattlesnake that hissed but never got the chance to bite
you remember when they laid her broken body down to rest
a faded scar across one еye and roses on her drеss

oh+

[chorus]
well you can’t hit what you can’t see
and no one told you who you’d be
the knight in shining armor standing guard over the land
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
you never took a lover, never took no other name
you never left your hometown, and you wear your hair the same
she told you she forgave you but you always called her bluff
nothing you could ever do could ever be enough
oh+

[chorus]
well you can’t hit what you can’t see
and no one told you who you’d be
the knight in shining armor standing guard over the land
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand

[verse 5]
the rifle was your father’s but the parts have been replaced
and you have long forgotten every feature of her face
all that you remember is the casket where she lay
and what you wish you’d said to her that day
and what you wish you’d said to her that day

[chorus]
’cause you can’t hit what you can’t see
and no one told you who you’d be
the knight in shining armor standing guard over the land
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand

little darling you can’t hit what you can’t see
and no one told you who you’d be
the knight in shining armor standing guard over the land
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand
holding daddy’s rifle in her hand
