Take Your Best Shot

Lyrics

Intro
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Verse
She was alone on the crowded dance floor, two-stepping to a Bakersfield beat
And she caught my eye and wouldn’t let go, so I went and asked her to dance
Then a drunk raced in, said she’s my girl – she snapped at him, “I ain’t”
But he got in my face and his fists went up, so I shook my head and said

Chorus
Take your best shot, come on show your stuff
You’re in the spotlight tonight that’s right this time better light it up
Take your best shot, come on, if you think you’re man enough
Jump right in and break out what you got, take your best shot
Take your best shot

Verse
He swung wild and slipped, fell on his face, and the whole bar clapped and laughed
All I could think of was that lady, I just had to have that dance
My heart near stopped when I thought she'd gone, then I saw her across the room
When she smiled at me, my buddy said, if you don’t want to lose this chance

Chorus
Take your best shot, come on show your stuff
You’re in the spotlight tonight that’s right this time better light it up
Take your best shot, come on, if you think you’re man enough
Jump right in and break out what you got, take your best shot
Take your best shot

Bridge
With my gut in knots, I cut loose and crossed that bar
She took my hand, we did that dance, and then she stole my heart
My mind was spinning cartwheels, but the time for thinking was through
So, love jumped in, shoved my brain aside and told me what to do

Chorus
Take your best shot, come on show your stuff
You’re in the spotlight tonight that’s right this time better light it up
Take your best shot, come on, you know you’re man enough
Jump right in and break out what you got, take your best shot
Take your best shot
