Daddy already had the truck running out in the drive
It's never been easier to wake a knee He rolled up at 445
I put my camo on record fast He put coffee on in the kitchen
Mama handed me a brown bag Full of Jimmy Dean biscuits
We walked out the door
Felt the first cold snap or fall
We were about two miles down 24 When Grandpa called
He said,
Hide that truck in the tree line
Be a nap right by sunrise Neighbor kid said he saw that big nine
Rubbin' up against a pine Monday evening Ruts on,
son,
they'll be chasin'
Be ready,
but boy,
be patient Make sure y'all shut that gate when you done
Have a good hunt and call me if you get one Hell,
call me if you don't
Either way,
son,
y'all be safe And swing by the house on your way home
It's been about 15 years since we got to go
together But Daddy still calls every opening
day To talk about the weather
We talk all the way to the lease And it always makes me last
Cause I can tell he riles him up When
I tell him he sounds like his dad
When he says, Hide that truck in the tree line
Be a nap right by sunrise Hope he's
sighted that gun since the last time
Cause it was shootin' high last season
Ruts on,
son,
they'll be chasin' Be ready,
but boy,
be patient
Make sure y'all shut that gate when you done
Have a good hunt and call me if you get one Hell,
call me if you don't Either way,
son,
be safe
And swing by the house on your way home
I know one day Now that I have a boy of my own I'll get to shake
his leg Roll him out of bed and get him ready to go And we'll
hide that truck in the tree line We'll be a nap
right by sunrise I'll tell him how his grandpa
told me all the time And I'll say it line by line
Ruts on,
son,
they'll be chasin' Be ready,
but boy,
be patient I guarantee your grandpa'll be waitin' To
hear about the hunt So we'll call him if we get one Hell,
we'll call him if we don't Either way,
we'll swing by him And Grandma's on our way home
