Lyrics
I got my shotgun loaded aimin' at the sky
Them birds keep flyin' and I don't know why
I pull the trigger but they're gone with the wind
Missin' all the time it's a game I can't win
Out on the water my line's in the stream
Fish keep bitin' but it's just a dream
My hookset's shaky they slip right away
Missin' all the time every doggone day
Oh I'm missin' all the time can't hit the mark
Missin' birds missin' fish stumblin' in the dark
Missed my chance with a girl let her slip right through
Shot glass to my lips and I miss that too
But most of all my heart's broke in two
Missin' my old dog don't know what to do
She had those eyes like the stars in the night
I had my moment but I didn't hold tight
She walked away left my heart in a whirl
Missin' all the time lost my chance with that girl
Raise a glass to the good times but I spill it on the floor
Shot glass wobbles can't find my mouth no more
I laugh it off but it stings just the same
Missin' all the time it's my claim to fame
Oh I'm missin' all the time can't hit the mark
Missin' birds missin' fish stumblin' in the dark
Missed my chance with a girl let her slip right through
Shot glass to my lips and I miss that too
But most of all my heart's broke in two
Missin' my old dog don't know what to do
He was my shadow my friend through the years
Chased those birds shared my joys and my tears
Now the porch is empty his bark's just a ghost
Missin' my old dog that's what hurts the most
Oh I'm missin' all the time can't hit the mark
Missin' birds missin' fish stumblin' in the dark
Missed my chance with a girl let her slip right through
Shot glass to my lips and I miss that too
But most of all my heart's broke in two
Missin' my old dog don't know what to do
So I'll keep on tryin' though I miss every day
Hoping one shot lands before I fade away
But that old dog's memory it's all that I've got
