Ray Bouvier

Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
He won the local lottery and took us out
We put a barricade down the middle
of the bed
But that didn't stop me from looking
down the barrel
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
I kept the bullet as a souvenir and
Took it to the knife show to carve out my
name and the date
But it was too heavy to wear around
my neck
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
If Kristi kills me I'll know who told her
We've never kept secrets from each
other at all
But luckily, it wasn't her favorite pair
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
Ray Bouvier made me shoot the shoe
Took us out drinking after he won the
local lottery
We put a barricade down the middle
of the bed
But the smoke never cleared from the
room, not at all
Well I thought I was thinking, but
apparently not
