Adrian Krygowski - Shot In The Dark

If you ask how it burns
I picked the wrong night to learn
Concerned, I'm sure
I walked a straight line
Said you swerved, but you turned

If the promise was fake
Like the rent check was late
Or the shotgun you saved
From the fire to survive
Left the damn thing engaged

Left to my lonesome-y ways
Right from the spark
Keep a close watch for first thoughts of flame
LIKE A SHOT IN THE DARK

Took the town just to date
Forged the debt that was paid
Found a ring I could save
And I bought you a new life
Said it's better with age

Got blessed by the church
Did it by the Lord's word
Raising sons is hard work
And I fought with the wife
Over minimum wage


But this tattoo 'I Love you, Irene'
Is where you left your mark
Like a candle still burning the flame
OF A SHOT IN THE DARK

I only went for the lunch
You know, potatoes and such
And she comes bursting on in like
I gave her a line
She gave me a sucker punch

We took the short way to my place
Showed her how I was raised
And the grin on her face
When she said she was late
I only had to hear once

I asked if you wanted to dance
You asked if I wanted to park
We never once really had a chance
JUST A SHOT IN THE DARK
