Shootin'...

the pink of the beginning sunrise,

the sun as it peeks over the horizon,

the neighbor's horses

feeling their oats,

and the bite of a winter morning.

Shootin' Horses Ain't Easy!

You have them lined up in your sites,

they move,

they make funny faces.

They'll be standing pretty,

they spy you

and come looking for a treat

while looking as pretty as an ole plow horse.

They know you're gonna shoot!

Sometimes they even shake like a dog.

But it's hard to get a shot

when there're chestnuts on the ground.

You think you have a clean shot,

then someone moves an inch

and you end up with a miss.

Even climbing high to shoot doesn't help.

They know you're out to get 'em.

Finally, you get lucky...

and get a fair shot.

This is too much work for me!
