He ran outta that bedroom 'bout as gung-ho

As he could be in his mossy oak

Took a first hunt picture on my phone

'fore he fell asleep on the way.

I held the gun, he held the light

A cup of coffee and a can of sprite

The stand was only ten-feet high

But on top of the world that day.

I already knew we wouldn't see a thing

Been three more times, and it's always the same, 'cause.

He moves too much, and he talks too loud

But I don't mind, 'cause I'm finding out

That even if it's just time we're killing

It's never felt more like living

They'll make you cuss and wear your patience thin

But next thing you know, they're all grown up, and then

You're huntin' by yourself again.

Well, I've heard 'em say these days don't last

I know the years are gonna fly fast

Right out the door and never come back

As bad as you want 'em to.

And pretty soon, he'll sit in his own tree

Be a bat outta hell with a set of keys

And chasing girls is gonna be

All he'll wanna do.

He'll have a lot less time for his old man

So I'm gonna soak it up while I still can.

When he moves too much, and he talks too loud

But I don't mind, 'cause I'm finding out

That even if it's just time we're killing

It's never felt more like living

They'll make you cuss and wear your patience thin

But next thing you know, they're all grown up, and then

You're huntin' by yourself again.

He runs outta that bedroom 'bout as gung-ho

As he can be in his mossy oak

Hop in the truck, and off we go

I can't help but smile, 'cause he don't know.

He moves too much, and he talks too loud

But I don't mind, 'cause I'm finding out

That even if it's just time we're killing

It's never felt more like living

They'll make you cuss and wear your patience thin

But next thing you know, they're all grown up, and then

You're huntin' by yourself again.
