Verse 1 Cabin in the woods, just fixing up the place Two good ol’ boys with a smile on their face Fishing poles, cold beers, hammer and nails Then the college kids come flying off the rails One dives headfirst where he shouldn’t have gone Another meets a branch before too long Screams in the trees, panic in the night Somehow everything turns into a fight Pre-Chorus We were just minding our own business here But they keep running straight into fear Every accident gets worse somehow And nobody’s asking questions now Chorus It’s a doozy of a day out in the pines Wood chipper humming and crossed-up minds Chainsaw buzzing, bodies dropping by surprise And we’re just standing here with terrified eyes Every kill looks bad from the outside view But we swear to God we didn’t mean to Verse 2 One into the fire, one into the spikes Another one ran straight into the knife A wasp nest swarm and a blind escape Turned the whole damn weekend into a tape Blood on the porch, confusion in the air Every step becomes another nightmare We try to help but they scream and run Like we’re the monsters holding the gun Pre-Chorus No one listens, no one slows Every panic only grows Bad luck stacked on bad timing And the whole thing keeps on climbing Chorus It’s a doozy of a day out in the pines Wood chipper humming and crossed-up minds Chainsaw buzzing, bodies dropping by surprise And we’re just standing here with terrified eyes Every kill looks bad from the outside view But we swear to God we didn’t mean to Bridge Turns out the real evil wore a human face Old scars, old blood, revenge in place The whole damn nightmare had the truth reversed The ones they feared were never the worst Final Chorus / Twist It was a doozy of a day in the end Two innocent guys just trying to mend All the screams came from fear and lies A slasher story seen through the wrong eyes Turns out the twist was simple and cruel The “killers” were the nicest ones in the woods
