She likes to hunt

Intro] Sun comin' up through the cottonwoods, Frost on the ground, coffee tasting good. She's got camo on and that fire in her eyes, Lord, I came here to hunt... But she's making it hard to keep my mind on the prize. [Verse 1] We parked that truck where the old creek bends, Grabbed our gear and headed in. She said, “Baby, carry my pack,” I said, “Girl, you know I got your back.” She dropped her blind bag by a fallen pine, Said, “Come sit beside me, baby, take your time.” Shoulder to shoulder, breathin' in the same air, That little blind got a whole lot warmer with her there. She whispered, “Keep it quiet, don't make a sound,” I said, “Baby, with you this close, I'm trying hard not to turn this hunt around.” [Pre-Chorus] She gave me that look underneath that brim, The kind that says, “Boy, come closer...” Then smiled when I smiled back at her, Like we both knew where this was headed. [Chorus] She likes to hunt, and I love to hunt with her, She's got me working harder than a retriever. Steady hands, that wicked little grin, One little touch and I'm losing again. She knows how to handle a long gun just right, And damn, she looks good in that moonlight. We came looking for bucks in the woods, But every time she gets this close... I forget what I'm looking for. [Verse 2] Morning fog rolling off the water like smoke, Two mallards came sailing right over the oaks. She raised that shotgun, I whispered, “Take 'em,” She glanced back at me like, “Boy, you better watch me.” Boom! Boom! Echo through the trees, She turned around smiling, “Was that good enough, please?” I said, “Darlin', that was mighty fine,” She leaned in close, “You ain't seen my best shot tonight.” We sat there laughing while the coffee got cold, Her boot brushed mine while the morning turned gold. She said, “You know what I like in a man?” I said, “What's that?” She whispered, “One who knows when to make his move... and when to just hold my hand.” [Chorus] She likes to hunt, and I love to hunt with her, She's got me working harder than a retriever. Steady hands, that wicked little grin, One little touch and I'm losing again. She knows how to handle a long gun just right, And damn, she looks good in that moonlight. We came looking for bucks in the woods, But every time she gets this close... I forget what I'm looking for. [Rap Verse] Yeah— Camo on, boots muddy, hair tied back, She's got that country-girl fire underneath that hat. Says, “Pass me the shells,” I say, “Yes ma'am,” She smiles like she knows exactly where I stand. She can work a call, she can work a blind, She can make a country boy lose track of time. When she says, “Get down,” I don't ask why, When she says, “Stay close,” I just smile and comply. She's got a little wild, she's got a little sweet, Got a way of making my heart skip a beat. I came for the hunt, but here's the funny part— She ain't just good at hunting... She's damn good at hunting my heart. [Bridge] By noon the woods turned warm and bright, She laid her head on my shoulder in the sunlight. Her fingers found mine, and she held on tight, No birds calling, just us and the quiet. She said, “Baby, we make a pretty good team.” I said, “Girl, you're better than anything I've dreamed.” She smiled, pulled me closer, whispered in my ear, “Maybe next season... we'll disappear out here.” [Final Chorus] She likes to hunt, and I love hunting with her, She's my favorite kind of outdoor adventure. From the first cold morning to the last daylight, She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen in camo at night. She's got a steady hand and a dangerous smile, Makes sitting in a blind worth staying awhile. We came for the deer, the ducks, and the view, But the best damn thing I ever hunted down... Was a woman like you. [Outro] So load up the truck, girl, grab your gear, Next hunting season can't get here soon enough. You bring the coffee... I'll bring the calls... And when that sun goes down, we'll see who can keep their hands to themselves. Just remember, baby... This ain't the only kind of blind where I like sitting close to you.
