I shot an ol' bottle with my favorite gun just last night

It shattered and the sound made me feel like the king I am

The neighbors all heard and got scared

Thought it was a gunfight

But hell, it was fun, so I did it again

'cause that's the kinda king I am

I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down

I shoot the lost, I shoot the found

And if there's someone I can't find

Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind

I turned on the radio and listened to the ol' songs playin'

And things started feelin' good and right again

So I shot up a crow in a tree after dinner this evenin

Its good to keep yer trigger finger nimble,

I'll tell you what, my friend

I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down

I shoot the lost, I shoot the found

And if there's someone I can't find

Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind

I shot my daddy in the arm, with morphine

He said he never felt so good in all his goddamn life

So I shot him up just once more, fer good measure

He never woke up, and ever since, it's been a mighty peaceful life

I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down

I shoot the lost, I shoot the found

And if there's someone I can't find

Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
