If you've ever gotten outta bed at 3 in the morning Just to go sit in a deer stand for hours on end While it rained and the wind blew til your eye lids are froze And you couldn't feel your damn toes This songs for you. Coffee steam on a Cold windshield Frozen dirt road Leading to that field Rifle in the truck Mags in my pocket Chasing a ghost That some call a buck Footsteps soft on the frozen leaves Cold air burns every breath I breathe Heart skips a beat When the shadows move I been here before man I got something to prove It’s the last light Last chance Every rustle feels like a trance I’ve been high on the sight of a white-tipped flag And low when they slip through the saw briar snag I miss I cuss I sit there and stare All that time All that prayer Still I’m back Where the woods are clear Chasing that whitetail deer Saw him once at the soybean line Thick-neck king Heavy on one side Finger on the trigger Scope on a hair Then the wind started to sing Bullet sailed high Like it grew its own wings Sat there numb ‘til the dark came in Hands on my head Same old shit again Text from the boys “You get him or what?” “Not this time man Bastard walked my shot” It’s the last light Last chance Every rustle feels like a trance I’ve been high on the sight of a white-tipped flag And low when they slip through the dead pine snag I miss I cuss I sit there and stare All that time All that prayer Still I’m back Where the fields are clear Chasing that whitetail deer There’s an old stand scar Coming down that maple bark From the year I tried To climb it in the dark But dawn keeps calling And I keep going Failure cuts deep But the fire keeps glowing It’s the last light Last chance Every heartbeat stuck in a dance I’ve been high On the sight of a big tall rack And low when they vanish And double back I miss I cuss I sit there and stare All that time All that prayer Still I’m back When the woods turn clear Chasing that whitetail deer Yeah I’ll be back next year Another season Gonna get that deer
