Gonna Go Huntin' Tonight
Hank Williams Jr. · The Complete Hank Williams Jr. [1999]
Goin' to a place called the Ol' Brier Patch
I'm gonna get loose and I'm gonna have fun
Gonna go huntin' but I wont need a gun now
Well the season is always open
And there ain't no limit you see
They can be more challenging then a rocky mountain sheep
I have hunted the four legged deer
But the two legged are a lot more fun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord
I ain't takin' no gun
'Cause the kind of game I'm looking for is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big ol' grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs, and a skin already tanned in the sun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord,
But I ain't takin' no gun
Now those big ol' beautiful wildcats
Are the kind that are hard to track
'Cause the joint is crawlin' with the other hunters
And the she-cat is doublin' back
Now is the time for patience don't fire on the first one
Don't waste your bullets on a little bitty baby
Get a full grown wo wo woman
Hey the kind of game I'm talkin' about is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big ol' grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs, and a skins' already tanned in the sun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight boy
But I ain't takin' no gun
Yeah, I'm talkin' about huntin' tonight Lord
No light, no gun
Don't waste your powder on a little bitty baby, get a full grown
