[Verse 1]
Jax rolled out past the barley field
With a worn-out cap and a grin of steel
Old red truck and a cooler bed
A shotgun rack and a plan in his head
He said, "Boys, that roost ain't safe today"
And that Georgia dawn just gave him away
[Pre-Chorus]
He knew that creek
He knew that tree
He knew where them birds
Like to meet
[Chorus]
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
He brings 'em home
He brings 'em home
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
Whole back seat full
By sundown, he's done
[Verse 2]
First one flapped from the fence-line brush
Second one ran when he gave that hush
Third one dropped by the old fence wire
Jax just laughed, "Well, ain't that choir?"
By noon he had a tailgate pile
Feathers and feathers for a country mile
[Pre-Chorus]
He tipped his hat
He wiped his brow
Said, "One more stop
Then I'll head out"
[Chorus]
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
He brings 'em home
He brings 'em home
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
Whole back seat full
By sundown, he's done
[Bridge]
Mama said, "Jax, you went too far"
He set one down by the barnyard car
Said, "I kept the pantry full this year
And I brought your name some county cheer"
[Final Chorus]
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
He brings 'em home
He brings 'em home
Jax got turkeys
Jax got turkeys
Whole back seat full
By sundown, he's done
