Why do birds suddenly explode, every time, you reload
With the magazine, on your AR-15, they’re blown into (smithereens)
Why do geese fall down from the sky, every time, you drive by
Because your glock, it went off half-cocked, just like you
On the day you bought the gun the pawnshop asked you whether
You knew which sort of weapon was right for you
You said you weren’t sure, so you got a glock and a ruger and
A couple ARs and a Colt and a Hellcat and a Smith and Wesson and a damn machine gun too
And that is why all the ducks in town, tend to stay, safe on the ground
Your arsenal, makes you look virginal, while you mostly shoot (things you weren't aiming at)
Your armory, and your little pee-pee, they mostly shoot (accidentally)
Ahhh, you mostly shoot (anything in the immediate vicinity)
Ahhh, and the toilet seat wants to have a word with you, also

Title
Why
The idea for this song is at least thirty years old... but I never had managed to get beyond the first line. Then a set of vibes arrived at my house... and after spending many many hours getting them put together and fully functioning... I tapped a couple notes, and it sounded like "Close To You." And so this had to come together, at last. Oh, and I live in Tennessee, where anyone can open carry any weapon anywhere they like. Oy.
Oh, and it's from my upcoming 38th release, "The Adventures Of Superdork and Fangirl," due on July 17! Order yours at www.stevegoodie.com!
