Thump in the Hay

Verse 1

Flannel shirt and boots on the porch

Got a letter pinned to the screen door

Said the fields are crawling ear to ear

White tails twitching and they're getting near

The orchard wall is shaking in the wind

Every burrow's dug and now they're closing in

I got a shotgun shell and a nervous grin

One tiger against the whole damn lot of them

Pre-Chorus

They chew the fence posts

They swallow the moon

One big cat versus the whole dang lagoon

Chorus

Bunnies on the left

Bunnies on the right

Hopping through the hay bales

Fighting through the night

I wear stripes like thunder

They wear cotton white

It's a war in the pasture

And I'm built to fight

Post-Chorus

Thump thump thump

Here they come

Thump thump thump

Not done

Verse 2

They move like a river made of fur

A thousand little soldiers in a whir

I sharpen my claws on the barbed wire

Strike like lightning through the mire

Cornfield holds its breath

The rooster's silent on the gate

One stripe against a sea of snow

This old tiger's got a heavy weight

Pre-Chorus

They circle low

They drive me wild

Every cottonball's a rebel child

Chorus

Bunnies on the left

Bunnies on the right

Hopping through the hay bales

Fighting through the night

I wear stripes like thunder

They wear cotton white

It's a war in the pasture

And I'm built to fight

Post-Chorus

Thump thump thump

Here they come

Thump thump thump

Not done

Bridge

Maybe I misread the telegram

Maybe peace was always in the plan

But when the moon hits the midnight sky

I hear that war drum beating by and by

Chorus

Bunnies on the left

Bunnies on the right

Hopping through the hay bales

Fighting through the night

I wear stripes like thunder

They wear cotton white

It's a war in the pasture

And I'm built to fight

Post-Chorus

Thump thump thump

Here they come

Thump thump thump

Not done
