Two Shots Shy

Verse 1
I?ve got a mantle full of statues
I lived in the Red Carpet World
I toured all around this Big Blue Marble
And yes I?ve seen a lot of girls
Then this little Hottie Rocked my World

Verse 2
I first saw her on Runway
I thought she?d be my Parisian Queen
She glowed like the Fairy princess
Brighter than the Moonlight in Spring
She left me this Cliché to sing

Chorus
Now I?m Two shots shy of sober
Two bricks short of a load
A Queen shy of a full deck
And one heart short of love
Ya just one heart short and two shots shy of love

Verse 3
I hit that alarm in the morning
I can?t let the dream go by
Got to get back to that sweet place
Where her vision?s on display in my mind
That?s where I can find her everyday

Verse 4
She floated in on a Cloud
She sashayed through my minds door
Where she owned that room full of talent
And She closed my Casting Door
No I won?t be Casting that Part anymore

Chorus
Now I?m Two shots shy of sober
Two bricks short of a load
A Queen shy of a full deck
And one heart short of love
Ya just one heart short and two shots shy of love

Verse 5
Now I question if I really saw you
Maybe you?re a Vision from Above
Or did the Devil play a trick on me
Left me heartbroken and in love
Now you know that fits that old boy like a glove

Verse 6
I just walked out of the bar room
I found the sunlight in my eyes
I?ve been sitting on this stool with Jack all night
Trying to drink Obsession from my mind
Ya just one more edit baby and you?ll be laying on the cutting room floor for all time


Chorus
I?m still two shots shy of sober
I?m two bricks short of a load
A Queen shy of a full deck
One heart short of love
Ya just one heart short and two shots shy of love
Ya just one heart short and two shots shy of love
Ya just one heart short and two shots shy of love
