Blaze Orange
I woke up in the morning
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
I had an old coat for a pillow
And the couch was last nights bed
I don't know where I'm going
In the woods to check things out
Bring the tractor and the quads
And the hammer and the nails
We're building things
Shot down in my blaze orange
I'm going out to know the truth
I shot him down in his blaze orange
I'm going to get the buck first
With my 30-06
I'm Murray's Daughter
Call me Jenny Kuhnly
I've been shot down in my blaze orange
By my jealous brother
Cuz I got the big one for the year 2003.
