Dead Aim Lyrics—R.J. Sloane
Dead Aim is a high-energy outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about the one clean breath before everything explodes and a man has to trust his aim is true.
There's no room for doubt when the shot only comes once. Every man who's ever had to hold steady while the world closes in knows this feeling—heart pounding, hands finally still, everything riding on a single moment.
VERSE 1
Sun at my back
Every edge I can get
Lever pulled slow
Round finds the chamber
In through the nose
Half a breath held
One shot
Round's gotta count
Can't miss
CHORUS
Dead aim
Everything goes quiet
Heart's been pounding
Now it's time to try it
One clean breath
Before the world explodes
Dead aim
Or I don't make it home
VERSE 2
Gunpowder bites
Canyon walls echo back
Bullets sing
Off every jagged rock
Dust and chaos
Boots dig into ground
Dead aim
Ain't backing down
CHORUS
Dead aim
Everything goes quiet
Heart's been pounding
Now it's time to try it
One clean breath
Before the world explodes
Dead aim
Or I don't make it home
BRIDGE
Sun flares blind
Heart skips a beat
One clean shot
Between us and defeat
Steady now
Breathe through the pain
Dead aim
Not one shot's in vain
CHORUS (final)
Dead aim
Everything goes quiet
Heart's been pounding
Now it's time to try it
One clean breath
Before the world explodes
Dead aim
Or I don't make it home
OUTRO
One clean shot
