DEAD DEER IN THE ROAD-v1g
RICK 202311
 




 
VERSE1
I remember it well or at least enough to tell
Just how bad things went
I didnt know it then but it really has been
A life changing event
I was driving in my car headed home from the bar
When a voice inside me said
Be careful when you drive if you wanna stay alive
Because theres something up ahead
 
CHORUS
[Dead deer] in the road -[Dead deer] in the road
Not talking about a frog -Not talking about a toad
Its a great big lump -Makes a huge ass bump
[Dead deer] in the road -[Dead deer] in the road
 
VERSE2
I was drivin kinda slow cause I really didnt know
Just what it might be
Coulda been a rock -Coulda been a car
Could been a big old tree
Instead up ahead was a doe that was dead
With a big old buck nearby
He was standing his ground and I couldnt get around
So I pulled off to the side
 
REPEAT CHORUS -[Bad Buck]
 
VERSE3
Felt bad cause he looked real sad
As he stared down at the doe
There was nothing I could do but feel sad too
And I wish that he could know
I was gonna say he would be ok
But much to my surprise
He turned to me and I could see
The anger in his eyes
 
REPEAT CHORUS -[Mad Buck]
 
 
BRIDGE
The buck jumped up and danced upon my hood
I thought to myself you know this cant be good
Then he jumped back down
And kicked a hole in my front grill
And he grinned as if it gave him a big thrill
 
REPEAT CHORUS -(Bad Buck)
 
VERSE4
Then the buck ran away so I didnt have to stay
And I pulled around the doe
Car hissed a bit where the buck had kicked
But I finally made it home
When I got to the house my wife came out
And didnt like what she could see
She said no more bars and no more car
As she took away my keys
 
CHORUS2
Mad wife in the road -Mad wife in the road
She was pretty pissed off -And she was lettin me know
I cant lie well -She can always tell
Mad wife in the road -Mad Wife in the road
