Tekst piosenki
Honey don't you be yelling at me when I'm cleaning my gun I'll wash the blood off the tailgate when deer season's done We've got one more weekend to go And I'd sure like to kill one more doe Well I'll shovel the sidewalk again cause you"re still in a stew And I'll bet the bridge tender's widow wouldn't mind If I couldn't please you She's sure got the run of the men Out here where the pickings are thin And there's not much to do And I woke up last night In the grip of a fright Scared to breathe for I might make a noise Of this life that we crave So little we save Between the grandparents' graves And the grandchildren's toys And we grew up hard And our children don't know what that means We turned into our parents before we were out of our teens Through a series of Chevy's and Fords The occasional spin round the floor At The Copper Canteen Now the big boxes out on the by-pass Are shaving us thin I guess we'll hold on a couple more years 'Til the pension kicks in Then we'll sell all the stock in the store Leave only the lock on the door And wonder what then When I wake up at night In the grip of a fright And you hold me so tight to your chest And your breath on my skin Still pulls me back in ' Til I'm weightless and then I can rest So if Monsignor should pull you aside As you're leaving the church And I'm out on the ice Dropping lines for the walleye and perch Tell him it's not your job to bring me to the fold And I'd rather stand out in the cold And honey I know, the woodpile is low And we can't close the flu So I'll split up a couple more cords 'Fore the winter time's through Hold on to your rosary beads Leave me to my mischievous deeds Like we always do
