The Hunting Song
guitar chords lyrics
When I was a boy, at the cold blue lake
my daddy pulled out a fish
I watched it flop and shake
Started slowin down, til it barely moved
I stood ten feet back and stared
til it was through
I felt it way down inside
I felt it way down inside
Shook a pheasant from a tree
When I saw that bird come out
I knew the time had come for me
She started movin for the clear blue sky
I aimed quick, let the bullet fly
I saw it goin right at her, pass her by
As I watched that bird fly away
I dropped my gun and cried
I felt it way down inside
I felt it way down inside
We got a deer laid him in his tracks
About fifteen mile from the hunting shack
When we walked up, he was still alive
I had to cut his throat with my grandfather's knife
I slit his belly, his gentle form
Had to reach my hand inside
It was soft and warm
I pulled out his heart, took a bite
as it went down my throat
I felt that animal fight
I felt it way down inside
I felt it way down inside
