Life Is a Turkey Shoot
Life is a turkey shoot at the best of times
Nothing's handed to you on a silver platter
Gotta get out there and make life happen
Contentment is basically all that matters
If you can honestly say you've lived your life
With the very utmost caring and honesty
Then you've come through with flying colours
You've lived your own exclusive odyssey
Can't ask for more, you're living life's dream
Being respectful of your fellow man
You can't go wrong it's the way it should be
You're living by nature's master plan
There'll still be days when you'll sit and wonder
What's the purpose of us guys being here
Is there some great plan that I'm not aware of
You betcha and we all have nothing to fear
