Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That phone rang late
At eleven fifty-eight
And the words came down
Like a gate slammed shut
They said your name
Then they said you were gone
And it ripped my heart
Right out of my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
I stood there still
With the dark all around
Trying to breathe
But I hit the ground
A few weeks passed
But it still feels new
Every empty room
Still leads me to you
[Chorus]
One more hunting trip
Just me and you
One more sunrise
In the morning dew
One more hunting trip
I keep asking for
(Dad, one more trip)
But the woods stay quiet
At the old deer stand door
[Verse 2]
I was out in the woods
With my gun and my boots
Thinking of your laugh
And the stories you told
I watched the brush move
I watched the sky turn gold
And I wished I could have
Just one ride with you
[Pre-Chorus]
One cold breath
And I heard your voice
Say keep it steady
Son, you got a choice
So I raised my head
Through the ache and the grief
Like you were still there
Walking next to me
[Chorus]
One more hunting trip
Just me and you
One more sunrise
In the morning dew
One more hunting trip
I keep asking for
(Dad, one more trip)
But the woods stay quiet
At the old deer stand door
[Bridge]
If heaven’s got a ridge line
And a place to sit
I hope you’ve got your rifle
And the perfect wind
When my time comes
I’ll head your way
And we’ll make that trip
That we never made
[Final Chorus]
One more hunting trip
Just me and you
One more sunrise
In the morning dew
One more hunting trip
I keep asking for
(Dad, one more trip)
Till I see your face
At the old deer stand door
