Memories (The Hunting Song)

As the sunlight peaks over the top of the trees
And the dew gives way to a cool breeze
I find myself sitting next to my hero
It's a tradition daddy said so
He said he learned this from his daddy long ago
And if I stayed real still I might find what I'm looking for
And I did

I found out what life's about
When I was sitting up in that tree
I realized I was hunting more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothing compared to these memories

Now as the sunlight peaks over the top of them trees
And the dew gives way to that cool breeze
I find myself sitting next to my hero
Well he's only four feet tall
With his daddy's face
And he's as excited as I was
On the day that my daddy told me
If I stayed real still I might find what I'm looking for

I found out what life's about
When I was sitting up in that tree
I realized I was hunting more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothing compared to these memories

Well now my life is getting faster
(but I slow down to enjoy these times)
There's nothing more important than memories
(Oh yeah I realize)

I found out what life's about
When I was sitting up in that tree
I realized I was hunting more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothing compared to these memories
