I woke up at 5 a.m. and put on my camouflage Wiped off my .243 and fired up my Dodge Headed out to my old deer stand back in the pines Gonna get me a 10-point buck with 11-inch tines, yeah Settlin', hidin' from the wind, waitin' on the sun You might end up bein' my sucker if you get in the way of my gun So still I can hear the train from ten miles away If I'm here eight hours from now, it'll be okay, yeah Cause I'm a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road I'm a backwoods boy, no better place to go Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star I'll always be true to my heart Cause I'm a backwoods boy, I'm a backwoods boy Sittin' on the bank of Lynch's River with a little campfire Sleepin' on the ground, diggin' the sound of a backwoods choir Talkin' to the man in the moon way up in the sky He told me to let my worries roll on by Cause I'm a backwoods boy, grew up on a dirt road I'm a backwoods boy, no better place to go Waitin' on a deer, wishin' on a star I'll always be true to my heart Cause I'm a backwoods boy, I'm a backwoods boy I'm a backwoods boy I'm a backwoods boy I'm a backwoods boy
