- I Had To Shoot That Rabbit LyricsI had to shoot that rabbit
He didn't see me standing there
He wasn't even runnin'
Dogs were hollerin' everywhere
He was afraid to run
Somehow I was a-raisin' my gun
Raisin' it higher
Ready to fire
I had to shoot that rabbit
He was just too scared to move
All his runnin' was over
What did he care what I had to prove
It was supposed to be fun
Somehow I was a-raisin' my gun
It was all loaded
Something exploded
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember it clearly
He looked much too young to fight
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember clearly
He looked much too young to fight
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
He didn't see me standing there
He wasn't even runnin'
Dogs were hollerin' everywhere
He was afraid to run
Somehow I was a-raisin' my gun
Raisin' it higher
Ready to fire
I had to shoot that rabbit
He was just too scared to move
All his runnin' was over
What did he care what I had to prove
It was supposed to be fun
Somehow I was a-raisin' my gun
It was all loaded
Something exploded
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember it clearly
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
I had to shoot that rabbit
The sergeant told me now Jimmy now do it right
I don't remember clearly
He looked much too young to fight
He couldn't run no more
Somebody told me that war is war
Then why am I cryin'
And who is dyin'
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but habit
I had to shoot that rabbit
It was nothin' but...
