A Natural Lyrics by Gord Downie

Introduce Yerself

2017

[Verse 1]
We'd line up cans on the picnic table
In the backyard across the lawn
You stood soaking wet in your bathing suit
Taking deadly aim with your BB gun

[Chorus]
You are a natural
Kissed by the sun
You are a natural
You've just begun

[Verse 2]
With every can you'd hit, you'd smile the thinnest smile
You'd barely savour the applause
Or the jealousy of all the older ones
Just before you'd calmly killed a can, you'd pause

[Chorus]
You are a natural
There in the sun
You are a natural
Beautiful and young

[Verse 3]
And with all my life, I'll probably miss those days
Whiled away with you spent on nothing much
Watching you shoulder things, take deadly aim
Your finger on the trigger, your gentle touch

[Chorus]
You are a natural
You've only just begun
You are a natural
I'm the lucky one

[Outro]
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
I'm the lucky one
