Hunter's Temper

Lyrics

[Verse] Hunter was a man with a storm in his eyes, Lived by the sawmills and worked 'til he cried. Whiskey and regret, they danced through his veins, Rage in his heart like a runaway train. [Verse 2] Folks in the town knew to steer clear, Whispers of Hunter would chill you with fear. Broken-down porch where he’d sit and drink slow, The fuse was so short, just a spark and he'd blow. [Chorus] Oh, Hunter, Hunter, your temper's a flame, Burnin' down bridges and leavin' just shame. In the dark of the night, you let your rage roar, Hunter, oh Hunter, what are you fightin' for? [Verse 3] Memories of love now scattered and torn, His gentle side lost the day he was born. Under the moonlight, he'd curse and he'd cry, The man in the mirror, a ghost with no sky. [Verse 4] One night in November, the storm hit its peak, A slow-dyin' fire, not a soul left to speak. He vanished alone down a path in the wood, Leavin' behind all the things that he could. [Chorus] Oh, Hunter, Hunter, your temper's a flame, Burnin' down bridges and leavin' just shame. In the dark of the night, you let your rage roar, Hunter, oh Hunter, what are you fightin' for?
