Hooked on Freedom

The sun creeps up through the pine tree glow

Truck’s loaded down I’m ready to go

Rods and reels and a rifle in sight

Chasing the wild till the fall of night

Hunting fishing lighting it slow

Out here where the rivers flow

Freedom calls from the woods so green

Life’s richer than I’ve ever seen

A squirrel on a branch a deer in the shade

A lucky cast and there’s dinner made

The smoke curls up like a whispered prayer

Nature’s rhythm everywhere

The crack of a twig the bend of a line

It’s a simple life and it treats me fine

Far from the city far from the grind

Peace is the treasure I’m here to find

Hunting fishing lighting it slow

Out here where the rivers flow

Freedom calls from the woods so green

Life’s richer than I’ve ever seen

Moon climbs high lighting up the stream

Campfire stories like a waking dream

The warmth holds the chill of the night at bay

And the stars wink at the break of day
