I came to this website because I wanted to know what a cold shot was. I found the definition below, which I have copied as it is already in the public domain on the internet. So it seems the couple in the song did not have enough power behind the beginning of their relationship to take it to greater heights, on the contrary it ditched at the end of the runway. \nI also think it\'s a great song, made greater by Stevie Ray Vaughan.\n"A \'cold shot\' refers to a steam-catapult launch from an aircraft carrier when the steam pressure is too low for the launch weight of the aircraft; on reaching the end of the deck, the aircraft is going too slowly for safe flight and may drop dramatically, or even (in extreme cases) ditch. If ditching is avoided, there follows an agonisingly slow climb away with the handle jammed forward and all the gauges pegged in a desperate attempt to gain height and speed." |
