A Natural

We'd line up cans

On the picnic table

In the backyard

Across the lawn

You stood soaking wet

In your bathing suit

Taking deadly aim

With your BB gun

You are a natural

Kissed by the sun

You are a natural

You've just begun

With every can you'd hit

You'd smile the thinnest smile

You barely savored the applause

All the jealousy

Of all the older ones

Just before you calmly

Claimed the pain you caused

You are a natural

There in the sun

You are a natural

You're holding on, oh

The rest of my life

I'll probably miss those days

While away with you

Spent on nothing much

Watching you shoulder things

Take deadly aim

Your finger on the trigger

Your gentle touch

You are a natural

You've only just begun

You are a natural

And I'm the lucky one, hm

I'm the lucky one

I'm the lucky one

Hm-mm-mm

You are a natural

And I'm the lucky one
