Five o'clock on Friday evening, my wife's sitting home a sleeping,
Till she hears the gunshot whamming, birds a squealing, men a damning,
Local police station just a blaring with the sirens on
Picked me up at seven but they soon just kinda let me go
That buck just got too close, didn't give me warning,
Better count his lucky stars, but I'm a get him in the morning.

Eight o'clock and still no sending
Any bucks to their big ending
With all the anticipating, They're still gonna keep me waiting
Need to get some sleep cause things are getting kinda blurry, oh
Couldn't see a deer if it jumped and hollar'ed "Hey Let's Go!"
'Bout an hour later, I could barely keep it going
I just shut my eyes to rest, before I knew it I was snoring.

Ain't going home till a deer shows up, Ain't giving in till I shoot a buck
Throw him in the back of my pickup truck, Ain't going home till a deer shows up

Ten till twelve and I'm just snoozing, Didn't know what I was losing
Chance and chance to get my trophy, Then I guess some creature woke me
I look up and see about three, All of them look right at me
Pull my gun up, try to shoot 'em
They're not fooled, they all start moving.

Ain't going home till a deer shows up, ain't leaving here till a change of luck
Really doesn't matter cause my truck is stuck
Ain't going home till a deer shows up

Six o'clock on Saturday, I didn't know he's on his way
Then I see him start his grazing, What a sight it was amazing
I aim my barrel at the deer, then I think I see a tear,
That creature's crying, scared of dying
Someone get me a beer!

Ain't going home till a deer shows up, ain't giving in till I shoot a buck,
Throw him in the back of my pickup truck,
Ain't going home till a deer shows up
