True story about a plastic dove, eggnog and a Red Ryder BB Gun on a snowed in Christmas Day

lyrics

I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree
That’s what you get for gifting a BB gun to me.
The perfect storm of eggnog, a Red Ryder and BBs.
I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree.

The snow has got us stuck inside, all this pressure needs release
I cocked the lever and set my sights where a star sits normally
I pulled the trigger and in slow motion, I watched that BB flee
I knocked the dove clean off the top of the family Christmas tree.

I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree
That’s what you get for gifting a BB gun to me.
The perfect storm of eggnog, a Red Ryder and BBs.
I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree.

Life’s too short to be so serious, material gifts make me delirious
The holidays shouldn’t feel so stressful, there's so much that we have
to feel blessed for. And let’s not ignore... people we adore

That plastic dove it fell from Grace as my family glared at me
The ricochet bounced off my face, missed my eye so narrowly
I placed the gun back in its box, took a sip of rum and cream
I just shot the dove right off the family Christmas tree

I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree
That’s what you get for gifting a BB gun to me.
The perfect storm of eggnog, a Red Ryder and BBs.
I shot the dove off the family Christmas tree
