Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're just another sharp shooter, got your finger on the trigger
You're aiming at this big head of mine
And from there you can't miss, the only trouble is I have to put you, put you in line
[Chorus]
Take a shot in the dark, oh yeah
It's just a walk in the park
[Verse 2]
Oh, you're my baby-faced assassin with your weapons of seduction
You'll get me sooner or not
And there's a lot gone before you
I can certainly assure you
Your hand's too shaky for the job
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Take a shot in the dark
It's just a walk in the park
[Bridge]
My hands behind my back
Unarmed, we're face to face
You won't get a second chance
I got friends in low places
[Bridge]
You got your mind on other things
Wonderin' where to place your skills
I'm your man in case you're wondering
Oh, go ahead, go for the kill
[Chorus]
And take a shot in the dark
It's just a walk in the park
[Verse 3]
I'm an old bushwhacker
Yodelling up the canyon
I'll getcha, you better believe
Behaving with abandon, got some tricks of my own
I'll keep them hid up my sleeve
[Outro]
So take a shot in the dark
It's just a walk in the park
Take a shot in the dark
It's just a walk in the park
Oh yeah
