I Took a Random Shot

I took a random shot I must confess A wager made, the wheel of fortune spun That may be how I got into this mess A desperado's last chance to impress A single bullet left inside the gun I took a random shot I must confess I missed the mark by plenty more or less I rolled the dice though blinded by the sun That may be how I got into this mess Each loss increased my longing for success I should have stopped before I had begun I took a random shot I must confess I should have been a tramp with no address Instead of seeking love where there was none That may be how I got into this mess I should have been a priest, then I could bless Every mother's daughter or their son I took a random shot instead and yes That may be how I got into this mess
