Lyrics
SHOOTIN' HIGH
R. Mack Harrell
Joined the boys shootin' Jack at the Cozy Shack
Had a few...when I'm dry I can knock 'em back
Then she... walked in the door
Tight skirt, looking right for a rendezvous
Twin peaks ridin' high in a peek a boo
Who wouldn't shop that store?
And I got...high hopes
That she's gonna be... the one comin' home with me
So stoked...
Kissin' her... would leave me in ecstasy
I'm just...an ordinary guy
But tonight...I'm shootin' high
Blue eyes hypnotize, did I catch a wink?
Real smooth...made a move...no time to think
Next to her...an empty stool
Her smile goes for miles and the minutes fly
Can't see what's to be... but I gotta try
We just talk and my friends drool...
And I got...high hopes
That she's gonna be... the one comin' home with me
So stoked...
Kissin' her... would leave me in ecstasy
I'm just...an ordinary guy
But tonight...I'm shootin' high
Didn't see the burly dude who knocked me off that stand
But just as I was passin' out... I spied the ring on her left hand...
And I had...high hopes
She could be...the one comin' home with me
So stoked...
Kissin' her...would leave me in ecstacy
Instead... I'm nursin' this black eye
All because...I'm shootin' high
Do or die... I'm shootin' high...
