Lyrics
Hey young one, what's your mama gone done?
she had to break that bond & cut that cord
stop that cryn' now, you're not the only one
drop by little buddy, we'll help each other toward
logs got dumped around the longest day
and the concrete baked in the summer sun
Bruce would trot by lookn' "what the hey"
with his lady love, oh, she was a hon
that august rained every day cept 2
scribed logs got set, pinned & they got screwed
chain saw screamed, still Bruce he was true
Pretty Thing stole socks, tryin' to chew
daylight waned a cold chill in the air
a bloodied fox huddles scared by the wind through the trees
2 and 2 some critter, got to his most fair
his howl filled the air, loves last decree...
a killin' frost hit late, one august morn
get the roof on man, you'll be caught in a storm
grown pooch scares healed, yet he was torn
seal it up the winters comin'...die or be warm
it's natures way, the strong survive
it's natures way, newborn and alive.
