I’m tired of living in the cities and the towns.
With all the city people rushing around
Saying life is no good in the woods
Well, I’ll take my bow and I’ll take my knife.
I’ll take my gun and I’ll take my wife.
It’s time get back to basics in the woods
I’ll build a cabin out of earth and trees.
Cover the roof with lots of leaves
And live out all my days in the woods
I’ll spend my days hunting bear and deer
End eat whatever else comes near
I’ll eat whatever I can shoot in the words
There is nothing here for me in this old town
There is too many crazy people running around
I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long
I long to hear the sound of nature’s song
Well I have no boss and I have no bills.
I go out and shoot critters for thrills.
That’s just how life is in the woods
When the powers out and the gas is gone.
When there’s no food and the riots on
It doesn’t change a thing for my life in the woods
I’ve got a fire, I shot some food,
I’ve got fresh water and ammo too
That’s all I really need in the woods
Life is good, the air is clean,
Trees and critters are all I see
And that’s the way I like it in the woods
There is nothing here for me in this old town
There is too many crazy people running around
I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long
I long to hear the sound of nature’s song
There is tale, legends too, that strike fear and cause nightmares too
Of a wild man and his wife living out in the woods
They say it might be sasquatch the jersey devil too,
It’s really sad they have no clue
It’s only my wife and I living out in the woods
Whatever it takes to keep them out
Let them scream and let them shout
I like things the way they are in the woods
Life is good, life is clean
We got away from the city and town scene
There’s no one else but us here in the woods
There is nothing here for me in this old town
There is too many crazy people running around
I’ve got cars running up and down my road all day long
I long to hear the sound of nature’s song
