Well the covey took wing
Shotguns a-singing a pointing dog down in the old logging road
And Danny got three and looked back a-grinning
I fumbled around and I tried to reload
The country was cold with the sun westward sinking
It's good to be back in this place
With my hands around a Belgian made Browning...
... And your time spent in Tulsa did not help your shooting
And look at the gray in your hair
How good does it feel?
You belong in these hills
It's best that you let it all end
If you'd married that girl, you'd have married her family
You dodged a bullet my friend"
