[Verse]
She left me with the pickup and the hound dog in the yard,
She took the old love letters, guess separation ain't that hard.
She's off in Tennessee with her new lover, Slim,
But I keep my spirits high thinkin' how I won't miss her grim.

[Chorus]
I miss my wife, but my aim's gettin' better,
Bought a brand new rifle with a good ol' sight,
Havin' a ball shootin' all them pesky critters,
And practicin' my aim on lonely Friday nights.

[Verse 2]
She always hated huntin', thought it was a waste of time,
Now I've got my weekends free, and the woods are all mine.
Sippin' moonshine by the campfire, singin' solo tunes,
Fixin’ up my tree stand, grinnin' at the stars and moon.

[Chorus]
I miss my wife, but my aim's gettin' better,
Bought a brand new rifle with a good ol' sight,
Havin' a ball shootin' all them pesky critters,
And practicin' my aim on lonely Friday nights.

[Bridge]
Now she’s with ol' Slim, and I’m feelin' quite alone,
But I found a silver lining when I'm sittin' by the phone,
When the rabbits scatter, and the deer come round,
I pick up old Bessie, and I know I’m glory bound.

[Verse 3]
Saw her once at Walmart, she was stockin' up on beer,
Once she saw my shotgun, her face turned chalky clear.
But I tipped my hat and said, "How do you do?"
Then aimed at the cans in the aisle, and shot 'em clean through.
