It's early November, I follow my father Our footsteps crunch in the snow Somewhere in the middle of Beltrami forest My toes have already froze We stop at a tree, a tall creaky pine With two-by-fours nailed to the limbs I climb up and sit down, then wave to my father Who's promised to return again But if I didn't know better, I just might believe This deer hunting thing is a crime High up in a tree, my rifle and me With nothing to kill but time The first half an hour I do pretty well I sit still and don't make a sound At forty-five minutes I become real jealous Of anything touching the ground Now it's been several hours, I can't help but wonder If my father's even alive For all I know he's been eaten by wolves If I wait I might wait till I die If I didn't know better, I just might believe This deer hunting thing is a crime High up in a tree, my rifle and me With nothing to kill but time I see orange in the distance, oh joy, happy day My father is on his way back He says, "So, how'd it go?" I wipe nose and I tell him That I had a blast But if I didn't know better, I just might believe This deer hunting thing is a crime High up in a tree, my rifle and me With nothing to kill but time Well if I didn't know better I just might believe We all must be out of our minds High up in a tree for eternity With nothing to kill but time Nothing to kill but time
