Shooting For The Moon - Sonny Landreth

Waiting there by the side of the river

Waiting there but she did not show

Wringing his hands and shaking his head

Checking his watch it’s time to go

They say the sky is the limit

Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi

Shootin' for the moon

Crash landed in the Crescent City

Shootin' for the moon

Out here the truth is all you can see

But there is a trick in the thick of it all

The ghost in a fog is a thin line

Between first light and last call

They say the sky is the limit

Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi

Shootin' for the moon

Crash landed in the Crescent City

Shootin' for the moon

Waiting there by the side of the river

Get ready to cross to the other shore

Standing there by the side of the river

It never looked so wide before

They say the sky is the limit

Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi

Shootin' for the moon

Crash landed in the Crescent City

They say the sky is the limit

Reflected in the mirror of the mighty Mississippi

Shootin' for the moon

Crash landed in the Crescent City

Shootin' for the moon
