Sorry I Shot at Your Boyfriend

A hunter comes home to find his wife in love with the ten-point buck he missed last November, and he's the one who says sorry, to her, to the buck, and at their wedding.

[Intro]

(Spoken) Last November I had a ten-point buck dead in my scope, and I missed. Turns out my wife didn't.

[Verse 1]

Found hoofprints on the bedsheets and her nightgown on the floor, And the buck I swore I'd shot last fall was grinnin' by the door. He looked at me with them big brown eyes like I'm the one in the wrong, And I heard myself say, "Sorry, y'all, I'll just be gone."

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm sorry I shot at your boyfriend, Sorry I aimed for his rack, He's got ten points and I've got a beer gut, Darlin', won't you take me back? (Sorry 'bout the boyfriend!)

[Verse 2]

She said, "He's wild but he's gentle, and he never leaves the seat up, He'll go all night in rutting season, never needs a pill to keep up." I said, "Honey, I go all night too." She said, "Yeah, to the john," And that buck just stomped his hoof like he'd been laughin' all along.

[Chorus]

Baby, I'm sorry I shot at your boyfriend, Sorry I aimed for his rack, He's got ten points and I've got a beer gut, Darlin', won't you take me back? (Sorry 'bout the boyfriend!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

(Spoken) Now they're gettin' married Saturday out behind my deer stand. I'm the best man. I'm holdin' the corn. Preacher asked if anybody objects, And I said, "Sorry." Force of habit.

[Final Chorus]

(Hyah!) Baby, I'm sorry I shot at your boyfriend, Sorry I aimed for his rack, He's got ten points and I've got a beer gut, Darlin', won't you take me back? (Sorry 'bout the boyfriend!)

[Outro]

Sorry I shot at your boyfriend. (Spoken) Tell him I said hey.
