Old Gobbler (lyrics):
Verse 1:
Wakin' up before day breaks
I grab my box & a raspy slate
I'm packin' up my vest again
Pourin' coffee in my favorite mug
I grab the keys to my pickup truck
And send a text to my best friend
Pre-chorus 1
As we kick open our doors
We let an owl hoot roar
And we listen for your call
It's not long before
Chorus:
Old Gobbler
I wanna make you holler
I call to you, my friend
And you hammer back again (x2)
Old Gobbler ...
Verse 2:
As we walk down the loggin' road
We grab our shells with a turkey load
And we put 'em in our guns
Easin' up to the highest ridge
Think we hear a few birds pitch
And we take off on a run
Pre-chorus 2:
And as we setup in the woods
Like we know we should
Spit & drums can be heard
A few yelps and some purrs, brings ...
Ending Chorus:
Old Gobbler
I wanna make you holler
I call to you, my friend
And you hammer back again (x2)
The last thing through your head
Is #6 shot lead ... Old Gobbler

Hey everybody, thanks so much for your kind words & compliments on the song; I really appreciate all the encouragement. I've decided to submit it to the Couch by Couchwest online festival (it's for people that can't afford to go to SXSW so singer/songwriters submit original songs, for fun).
We'll see what the "general public" has to say, but again - thx guys! Hope each & every one of you have an *AWESOME* turkey season! Mine kicks off on Sunday morning when I take my daughter, who's 12 y.o., turkey hunting for the first time; hoping we get a big'un to come on in & she can get "hooked", like the rest of us!! :) But daddy-daughter time will be special, as well; all about making memories...
