Story Behind The Song
Went turkey hunting with my buddy Tom. I found it very relaxing and even fell asleep for a while. Tom shook me awake when three tom turkeys aproached our decoy named Martha, so I could shoot one.

Lyrics
verse#1
It's turkey time in the timber
better look-out Jake
we made it through the winter
but now the weathers' about to break
theres' peace down in the valley
sun is burning through the fog
where Tom Avery and Rally
are sitting on a log
Chorus
it sure feels good some days
just to have a gun
a turkeycall and a decoy
it sure feels good some days
just to be your daddys' son
it feels good some days
to be a country boy
Verse#2
I'm blending in with the scenerey
I'm quiet as a tree
no-one can see me
not even the turkey
if I get a little too relaxed
I might take a little snooze
if all I get is back
theres' still no way that I can loose
Chorus
Verse#3
Those gobblers will be gobbling
like gobblers do
and with my beard a wobbling
I'll be gobbling too
Gonna get home by suppertime
and when the day is done
gonna drink a little home-made wine
and catch the setting sun
Chorus
repeat chorus
