Lyrics
(Verse 1)
There's a river down by the old oak tree,
Where the fish bite and the water runs free,
Sunrise calls my name, every Saturday mornin',
With a rod in my hand and the cool breeze blowin'.
Deer tracks in the mud, down a country lane,
My camo and my boots, in the fallin' rain,
Spend my days out in the woods, just my dog and me,
Livin' for the huntin', wild and free.
(Chorus)
But I'd trade it all, for your sweet kiss,
Hang up my gear, for a love like this,
Leave the woods behind, let the fish all swim,
If it means I get to be with you, again and again.
(Verse 2)
There's a quiet spot where the willow bends,
Where the world fades away and the river bends,
Set up camp with a fire so bright,
Countin' stars in the sky, through the night.
Duck calls echo through the mornin' light,
And the thrill of the chase, it feels so right,
But darlin', your smile, it shines so true,
I'd give up all my wild ways, just to be with you.
(Chorus)
'Cause I'd trade it all, for your sweet kiss,
Hang up my gear, for a love like this,
Leave the woods behind, let the fish all swim,
If it means I get to be with you, again and again.
(Bridge)
I don't need the thrill of a big ol' catch,
Or the rush of a hunt, I won't miss a scratch,
'Cause holdin' you close, it's the best kinda game,
And I'd do it all, just to hear your name.
(Chorus)
Yeah, I'd trade it all, for your sweet kiss,
Hang up my gear, for a love like this,
Leave the woods behind, let the fish all swim,
If it means I get to be with you, again and again.
(Outro)
So here's my promise, as true as the sky,
For your love, darlin', I'd say goodbye,
To the huntin' and fishin', my old life too,
'Cause all I ever need, is to be with you.
