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'd barely savour the applause Or the jealousy of all the older ones Just before you'd calmly killed a can, you'd pause You are a natural There in the sun You are a natural Beautiful and young And with all my life, I'll probably miss those days Whiled 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 I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one I'm the lucky one
