Allen, Jimmie - Best Shot Lyrics






I'm just flesh and bone, heart and soul
And I've earned a couple scars
I've let once in a lifetime kind of things slide right out of my arms
I've struck out, I've been knocked down more times than I can count
But that don't matter now

'Cause when you smile
I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
And there's no doubt
Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not
But I'll love you with everything I've got
Girl I'll give you my best shot

You saw a spark inside of me that no one else could find
Your good morning eyes, they get me high
Girl you're always on my mind

'Cause when you smile
I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
And there's no doubt
Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not
But I'll love you with everything I've got
Girl I'll give you my best shot

When I saw you for the first time
I knew I'd found amazing grace
It's like angels singing every time I hear your name
When you smile
I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
And there's no doubt
Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you

When you smile
I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
And there's no doubt
Because of you, I'm better than I was before you
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
Oh, God knows I'm not
But I'll love you with everything I've got
Girl I'll give you my best shot

I'm gonna give you, I'll give you my best shot
I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you, yeah
Whoa whoa yeah
Whoa yeah

  58. N.... B....

    This song reminds me of my grandparents. Specifically, how my grandfather was with my grandmother. He would just love her so fully. If she was cooking, he was there watching and whistling a little tune either from the radio or whatever he had running around his head. He loved her and I can picture him whistling this. They were married for 66 years before grandpa passed in 2013. Grandma passed earlier this year. They also traveled quite a bit. They were dog show judges and have been to many places and I would wager California was one of those places. But grandpa's love for grandma was always there. That is what this song reminds me of, a love that could withstand anything. Ironically, their last name was Allen. I know I am probably not making much sense here, but music and what it makes you think of, whether it be a memory or a feeling, is specific to each person. I picture my grandfather and his relationship with my grandmother. Also, what I hope to find when I find the person who is out there for me, just like my grandma and grandpa.
