Daddy woke me up, said "Gotta get a move on
Sun is coming up and we don't wanna lose one
Rifle's in the truck bed, better get your boots on
Young buck"
You lost your game all talkin' and whisperin'
Gotta load the ammo finger on the trigger
Sittin' in the stand, I was feelin' pretty big
For a young buck
I told him, had to be the first kid in the third grade
To tag one on his first day
He said "Son, won't you slow it on down
You might not see it right now
But being out here ain't all about the years
Worth a damn, it's your hunger
The seasons get to goin' too fast
So try to be where your boots are at
Just take it from me
You think you are, but you ain't always gonna be
This young buck"
A couple years older, a couple prayers wiser
Tongue a little looser, aim a little tighter
Caught me sneakin' out for a girl with the shiners
Thought he was gonna give me that brimstone and fire
'Stead he woke up at the crack of dawn
For a man to man, trees stand tall
Damn I was tired
I didn't know how much I needed that reminder
He said "Son won't you slow it down
You might not see it right now
But bein' out here ain't all about the years
Worth a damn, it's your hunger
The seasons get to goin' too fast
So try to be where your boots are at
Just take it from me
You think you are, but you ain't always gonna be
This young buck
I know you're tired of bein' young but
You still got a ways to grown up
So just take your time (just take your time)
Oh, so take your time"
♪
You're huntin' weather comes and goes
You hang your guns and trophies up
You find a girl before you know you settle down
You're raising up
This young buck
I know you're tired of bein' young but
You still got a ways to grow up
So just take your time
This young buck
I know you're tired of bein' young but
You still got a ways to grow up
So just take your time (just take your time)
Oh, so take your time (just take your time)
I said boy, won't you take your time
