Gonna Go Huntin' Tonight

(album: Strong Stuff - 1983)

I'm gonna shine up my boots pick out my best hat
Going to a place called the Old Briar Patch
Gonna get loose and I'm gonna have fun
Gonna go hunting but I won't need a gun now

Well the season's always open and there ain't no limit you see
And they can be more challenging than a rocky mountain sheep
I have hunted them four legged deer but the two legged are a lot more fun
I'm gonna go hunting tonight Lord but I ain't taking no gun

No the kind of game I'm looking for is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big old grizzly bear
They got long claws long legs and a skin already tanned in the sun
Gonna go hunting tonight Lord but I ain't taking no gun

Now those big old beautiful wildcats they're the kind that are hard to track
The joint is crawling with the other hunters and the she cats are doubling back
Now is the time for patience don't fire on the first one
Don't waste your bullets on a little bitty baby get a full grown woman

No the kind of game I'm looking for is not that hard to snare...
I'm gonna go hunting tonight Lord but I ain't lightning no gun
