Intro

[,,,]

[,,,]

 I took a day off from my workaday job

 To go out hunting with my best friend Bob

 To get back to nature, get back to the land

 And walk in the forest like a primitive man

[,,,]

 A few hours pardon from life's travail

 While we go walk and follow the trail

Found his spoor and cut his track

 And we spotted a buck with a six point rack

Tracked that fellow through the afternoon

 Till Bob turned to me and said "turn back soon"

 I said "Bob we ain't getting no deer today"

 But that's not why we came anyway

 But to get back to nature, get back to the land

 And hunt in the forest like a primitive man

Oh______ primitive man

Sun going down as we followed the stream

Two men walking in a primitive dream

Rounded the bend and just our luck

Head down drinking there's a six point buck

Free'd my rifle and my aim was good

Buck look startled and he dropped where he stood

[,,,]

[,,,]

Two men hunting in the afternoon

 Gotta dress out the deer, gotta walk out soon

 So I drew my knife, and I got to work

 Bob rolled up his sleeves and he opened his shirt

 And around his neck was a silken cord

 With a little ring on it that I'd seen before

Said to him "Bob", as I raised my knife

 "I believe I gave that ring to my wife"

Oh______ primitive man

Oh______ primitive man

 Gotta learn to keep still and cover your track

 You got to move forward when you can't turn back

Drink at night from a quiet stream

One man running from the ruined dream

 And away from the home that he can't see again

Running in the forest with the curse of Cain

 To live off nature, live off the land

 And flee from the hunters like a primitive man.
