[Verse]
A bird's got a right to fly where he likes
Or so I thought that day
A dove like me is a bringer of peace
But seems it’s not that way

[Pre-Chorus]
When Arizona's pitcher woke up that morn'
The whole wide world was about to mourn
A mourning dove who dove just a little too soon

[Chorus]
The day that Randy shot me down
Oh, I flew up to heaven
The day that Randy shot me down
He's almost six foot eleven

[Post-Chorus]
Got that triple-digit speed on that fastball
He took me right down with feathers and all

[Bridge]
When Randy woke up, He chose violence
He wound up and threw
And then there was silence
The crowd erupted in a cry heard round the field
[Chorus]
The day that Randy shot me down
Will be remembered forever
The day that Randy shot me down
All the birds live in terror

[Post-Chorus]
Got that triple-digit speed on that fastball
He took me right down with feathers and all
