Feathers and Antlers

Verse 1

Got the Chevy cranked

Frost is biting on the river bank

Canvas coat and my lucky cap

Sun hasn't found us on the map

Steaming mud and the smell of swamp

Wading through the reeds with a heavy stomp

Pre-Chorus

Sky starts turning that dusty gray

Birds coming in from a mile away

Wait for the signal to let it fly

Watching those feathers against the sky

Chorus

Give me a whistle

Give me a call

I want to hear the timber fall

Feathers in the wind

Rack in the brush

Lord I live for that sunrise rush

Bark of the hound

Twang of the string

Better than what any money could bring

Post-Chorus

Duck in the sky

Buck in the pines

Living for those muddy lines

Muddy lines

Verse 2

Swapping out the steel for a heavy slug

Treading light across the mountain rug

Big ten pointer in the hickory grove

Moving like a shadow through the cove

Heart is thumping like a kick drum beat

Steadied my hands and found my seat

Pre-Chorus

Mist is hanging low and thick

Tree stands tall while the clock won't tick

Finger on the trigger and eye on the aim

Knowing exactly why I came

Chorus

Give me a whistle

Give me a call

I want to hear the timber fall

Feathers in the wind

Rack in the brush

Lord I live for that sunrise rush

Bark of the hound

Twang of the string

Better than what any money could bring

Bridge

Tall grass rustling under my boots

Deep down tangled in these backwood roots

Nature provides and I take my share

Finding my peace in the open air

Open air

Chorus

Give me a whistle

Give me a call

I want to hear the timber fall

Feathers in the wind

Rack in the brush

Lord I live for that sunrise rush

Bark of the hound

Twang of the string

Better than what any money could bring

Post-Chorus

Duck in the sky

Buck in the pines

Living for those muddy lines

Muddy lines
