Where the Wild Things Fly

Songtext

[Verse 1] Sunrise frost on the truck bed rail Checking the map on a worn-out trail Rifle oiled up and the decoys set Ain't seen a morning like this just yet Thermals are rising, the timber is cold Best kind of story a hunter can told [Chorus] Big bucks walking where the cedars grow Greenheads dropping in the river below From the tree stand high to the duck blind floor That’s the only life this country boy’s for Yeah, antlers in the timber and wings in the sky Living by the code where the wild things fly [Verse 2] Rattling antlers through the river bottom brush Heart starts pounding in the early morning hush Ten-pointer stepping out at forty yards clear Everything stops when the monarch is near Then out on the marsh as the mallards swing low Calling them in where the brackish waters flow [Chorus] Big bucks walking where the cedars grow Greenheads dropping in the river below From the tree stand high to the duck blind floor That’s the only life this country boy’s for Yeah, antlers in the timber and wings in the sky Living by the code where the wild things fly [Bridge] Sunrise to sundown, woods are alive That’s how we measure, that’s how we thrive A freezer full of venison, feathers on the porch Carrying on the old tradition’s torch [Chorus] Big bucks walking where the cedars grow Greenheads dropping in the river below From the tree stand high to the duck blind floor That’s the only life this country boy’s for Yeah, antlers in the timber and wings in the sky Living by the code where the wild things fly [Outro] Yeah, big bucks and greenheads Out where the wild things fly [Fade out]
