Rhett Akins - Hung up lyrics

rate me

Well every spring for five long years i've been

Chasin' down the same longbeard

It's get up early and I give him all I got

Got me an old box call and a brand new choke

And, this spring it ain't no joke

Im gonna, fool him good and finally get a shot

Well he gobbled his head off on the roost

I was just about to cook his goose

He was comin' in, then its like he hit a wall

Cause he's hung up, down in the holler

I give up, a couple hundred dollars

If you break that strut and come in on a string

Well he must have found a new girlfriend

And that dang old hen wont let him come in

He's hung up down in the holler again

Oh yeah

Well I, slipped around to the other side

Just to let him think I let him slide

Give him an hour or two to do his thing

About ten o'clock I shot him a call

And he, hammered back and I took off

And I set up on the south side of the spring

Well he couldn't have been more than eighty yards

My old heart was poundin' hard

Then it hit me, I'd screwed up again

Cause he's hung up, down in the holler

I give up, five hundred dollars

If you break that strut and come in on a string

Well you'd think by now I'd have more sense

Then to call a turkey through a barb wire fence

He's hung up down in the holler again

Oh yeah

Well I was, feelin' like a dang old fool

That turkey done took this boy to school

I was, packin' up and headin' back to the truck

But I had one more trick up my sleeve

The one my granddaddy taught me

I knew I was gonna need me a little luck

Pulled out my slate call, made a fightin' purr

All I seen was beard and spurs

He flew the fence and I filled him with number fives

Now he's hung up, down in the holler

I strung up, that old boss gobbler

When he broke that strut and came in on a string

Well he came to fight for his girlfriend

Now he's upside down on the hickory limb

He's hung up down in the holler again

He'll never be hung up in this old holler again

Oh yeah

Never again
