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.
Oh______ primitive man
Oh______ primitive man
Oh_______________ primitive man
Oh______ primitive man
Oh______ primitive man
Oh_______________ primitive man
