[Verse 1]

Leaves are turnin, ther's a chill in the air.

Weather man's callin for southwest winds. Gonna have to change my plans.
G D
Guess I won't be Huntin the powerline, I'm Movin to the boat seat stand.

Sighted in my rifle and she sure is shootin straight.
C G D
But I'll meet up with the jitters y'all, It's openin day.
[Chorus]
D
I've been workin all summer and it's sure been hot.
C
Tractor tore up but I planted my plot.
G D
Deer trail runnin through there looks like a highway.

I got my heart set on that drop tine buck.

There's plenty of room in the back of my truck.
G A D
It's been a long year but it's gonna be worth the wait. It's openin day.

Headed to the stand with my little man and he didn't make a sound.
D C
Sat there till 9:15 and ole drop tine didn't show.
G C D
Saw a couple of squirrels a fat racoon a possum and a doe.
C G
Then out of the blue came a cow-horn spike and my little boy started to shake.

But he manned up and took his very first buck, on openin day.
