P.O.S.T.E.D

(album: The Huntsman - 2018)

The smallest rack
On his wall dry scored 192"
He's got Merriams, Easterns
Rios and the kind that's blue
Sitting by a cinnamon black bear
Mounted up there in a tree
Trying to swat a pissed off hive
Full of big wild honey bees
Ringnecks, Redheads, Grouse and Partridge
T-Rex sized snow geese and pintails
They all fell when they ran into his cartridge
His living room looked like the holy hunting grail
So one day I begged my uncle
To teach me what to do
When we got back in the timber
He said if I was you I'd go
Past that fence row

Out there where it's posted
Ain't no better place you could be
Read them letters out loud to me
"P-O-S-T-E-D"
P.lenty O.f S.quirrels T.urkey E.ven D.eer
Just find you a sign like this one here
Sit tight and stay posted

I said uncle you must be smoking
I understand what trespassing means
Quit joking; I ain't walking through some farmers field of beans
He said, boy, if you wanna get the big one then you gotta be where he'll be
If you don't get caught then it ain't illegal if your asking me go...

Out there where it's posted
Ain't no better place you could be
Read them letters out loud to me
"P-O-S-T-E-D"
P.lenty O.f S.quirrels T.urkey E.ven D.eer
Just find you a sign like this one here
Then go past where it's posted

That spot was real good for awhile
Centerfold of field and stream
But one day I crossed that barbed wire
And ran into the man in green

Now I don't go
Past that fence row

Out there where it's posted
That's one place that I won't be
My uncles doing six , I got three
P-O-S-T-E-D
P.lenty O.f S.quirrels T.urkey E.ven D.eer
Y'all take my advice or wind up here
Waiting for your bail to be posted
