Up here in Sniper Country
We smoke Marlboros and
Give to the police benevolent fund
Up here in Sniper Country
I’m here for the first time and it seems like home.
Being from Dallas and how Lee Harvey
Made such an impression on the town
Museums in his honor now
Up in Sniper Country
Was in Austin the day
Whitman started popping them
From the UT tower in ’66
Held a young girls hand
While she lost the baby inside of her
Up in Sniper Country
There’s a Deer hunter out there
And the whole Pentagon can’t stop him
Our fears are in the cross-hairs of his scope.
It’s getting hard to cope here
In Sniper Country
