Just about sundown on the levee road near the old fishin' hole
D G Cmaj7
Teaching me to shoot straight and true was your only goal
C D G
You threw a can up in the air and smiled
C D D/F#
I pulled the trigger, missed by a mile, you said
G D/F# Em
Aim a little higher and you can't miss
Am7 C D
Bless that can with a shotgun kiss
G D/F# Em
Aim a little higher, try it again
Am7 C D G
Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
In later years on a river of tears I drifted home for a while
Since shame was the only glory I'd ever known, I didn't change my style
First night home I got drunk and confused
Mistook you for a fool, you were not amused, you said
Refrain 1:
Aim a little higher, cause you're not livin'
All this takin' son and never givin'
Gonna catch up to you like a ball of fire
Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
Refrain 2:
Aim a little higher, you're shootin' too low
Aim for the dirt and you'll never know
Glorious redemption or heavenly hope
Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
C/E G D/F# G
In those deceptive moments, in those deceptive days
C/E G D/F# Em
When the dung and the mire look like the high wire
C G Bm C2
Will there be anyone who loves me enough to say?
G G/B C
"You gotta aim a little higher, aim a little, aim a little higher"
G G/B C
"You gotta aim a little higher, aim a little, aim a little higher"

Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
