40--POUND BOW
I HAD A BIG WHITE FIBERGLASS 40-POUND BOW:
I WOULD PULL BACK MY ARROW AND LET IT GO:
I WOULD AIM STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR:
THEN WITH ALL MY POWER I LET IT GO AND SHOT IT THERE:
THE ARROW WOULD GO STRAIGHT UP AND COME DOWN SOMEPLACE IN THE YARD:
TO PULL BACK A 40-POUND BOW WAS'NT EASY IT WAS HARD:
WE WENT DOWN TO THE LAKE AND SHOT OUR ARROWS FAR:
DAD TOOK US KIDS THERE IN THE FAMILY CAR:
I' PULL BACK ON THE BOW:
TO SEE HOW FAR IT WOULD GO:
THERE WERE TARGETS DOWN BY THE LAKE THAT WE COULD USE:
BUT EVERY TIME WE DID AN ARROW WE WOULD LOOSE:
THE 40-POUND BOW WAS JUST AS TALL AS I:
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER SHOOTING ARROWS UP IN THE SKY:
