Woke up at 5am, put on my camouflage
Wiped off my .243 and fired up my Dodge
Headed out to my old deerstand back in the pines
Gonna get me a ten point buck with 11 inch tines, yeah

Settled in hiding from the wind, waiting on the sun
You might end up being my supper if you get in the way of my gun
It's so still I can hear the train from 10 miles away
If I'm here 8 hours from now it'll be okay, yeah

'Cause I'm a backwoods boy
Grew up on a dirt road
I'm a backwoods boy
With no better place to go
Waiting on a deer, wishing on a star
I'll always be true to my heart
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy
I'm a backwoods boy

Sitting on the bank of Lynches river with a little campfire
Sleeping on the ground, digging the sound of a backwoods choir
Talking to the man in the moon way up in the sky
He told me to let my worries roll on by, yeah

'Cause I'm a backwoods boy
Grew up on a dirt road
I'm a backwoods boy
With no better place to go
Waiting on a deer, wishing on a star
I'll always be true to my heart
'Cause I'm a backwoods boy
I'm a backwoods boy

I'm a backwoods boy
I'm a backwoods boy
Backwoods boy
Mmmmm...
I'm a backwoods boy
