Verse 1 My brother sent a picture from a camera in the pines Three good bucks at noon beneath a November sky Wind was right, sun was high, rifles back at home Tuesday afternoon, and he was punching in the clock alone Come Saturday morning, boots on frozen ground Same old stand, same old woods, but nothing moves around Funny how the timber talks when nobody’s there Those deer been watching us like we ain’t even aware Chorus Yeah, the deer know your schedule They know when you’re gone They move in the moonlight Then vanish by dawn You think you’re the hunter But truth be told They’re reading your patterns Like a story you wrote Verse 2 We spend our money on the camo and the glass Trail cams, corn piles, counting tracks in the grass Study every ridgeline, every scrape and trail But they’re one step ahead of us, every single fail They remember the footsteps, the sounds we make Learn our habits, learn our breaks It humbles a man when he finally sees Sometimes you’re not as smart as you think you might be Chorus Yeah, the deer know your schedule They know when you pray They know when you’re working And when you’re away You think you’re in control Out there on your own But they’re reading your patterns Like they’ve always known Verse 3 That got me thinking about my own ways Late starts, short fuse, drifting days Trying to hide the mess I make Like God don’t see the roads I take But He knows every footstep, every scar Knows where I’ve been and where I are David said He searched my soul Every path, every high and low Chorus Yeah, God knows your schedule Every rise, every fall Every good intention Every missed call He ain’t trying to catch you Doing something wrong He’s waiting right there Trying to lead you back home Bridge While I was still broken Still stuck in my sin He paid the price Before I asked Him He saw the whole picture And still stayed close Grace don’t scare easy And mercy don’t ghost Final Chorus Yeah, the deer know your schedule But they don’t know your heart They just follow the instinct They were given at start But the Father who made you Knows you inside and through Every pattern you’re living Every thing you do Outro So if you’ll spend your time Chasing tracks in the dirt Spend a little more time Letting Him do the work The deer might know your schedule Out there in the dark But the Lord of the woods Yeah, He knows your heart

When the Deer know your Schedule
