You Shot My Buck

​

You shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I had a bead on his eyes

And I was aiming to fire

And then you shot my buck

 

He was a four-by-four

When he fell to the floor

I was gonna tell the tale

Of that big white-tail

But it ain’t my story no more

 

Cause you shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I had a bead on his neck

And then what the heck

Aw man, you shot my buck

 

It would’ve been my first

Sometimes I think I’m cursed

Too slow on the draw

It’s my fatal flaw

This barrel’s about to burst

 

You shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I had a bead on his head

About to drop him dead

But then you shot my buck

 

What gives you the right

How do you sleep at night

It’s first come first serve

You got a lot of nerve

I had him right in my sights

 

You shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I had a bead on his spine

That muley was mine

But you jerk, you shot my buck

 

Don’t think I’ll ever forgive you

For taking my rack

And if I should outlive you

I’m taking it back

 

Cause you shot my buck

You know how much that sucks

I’ve waited my whole life

For this moment in time

And you fool, you shot my buck

 

You shot my buck

My bolt was stuck

I’ll never live this down

Don’t you make a sound

Or I’ll kick you right outta my truck

 

You shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I had a bead on his heart

And how it’s back to the start

You bugger, you shot my buck

 

You shot my buck

That’s just my luck

I’m just so upset

And I’ll never forget

That day you shot my buck
