Two Shots Lyrics - John Denver

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 hands 

Last night while I was out drinking 

Trying to have a 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 

A duck blind and a 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 

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

It's so nice to talk to somebody 

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
