As the sunlight peaks over the top of the trees
And the dew gives way to a cool breeze
I find myself sittin' next to my hero
It's a tradition daddy said so
He said he learned this from his daddy long ago
And if I stayed real still I might find what I'm lookin' for
And I did

I found out what life's about
When I was sittin' up in that tree
I realized I was huntin' more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothin' compared to these memories

Now as the sunlight peaks over the top of them trees
And the dew gives way to that cool breeze
I find myself sittin' next to my hero
Well he's only four feet tall
With his daddy's face
And he's as excited as I was
On the day that my daddy told me
If I stayed real still I might find what I'm lookin' for

I found out what life's about
When I was sittin' up in that tree
I realized I was huntin' more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothin' compared to these memories

Well now my life is gettin' faster
(but I slow down to enjoy these times)
There's nothin' more important than memories
(Oh yeah I realize)

I found out what life's about
When I was sittin' up in that tree
I realized I was huntin' more than deer
When it was just him and me
Hell yeah I had a ball
Spent time with family
But the thrill of the kill
Ain't nothin' compared to these memories
