From Good Homes Way Down Inside Lyrics

when I was a boy, at the
cold blue lake
                                                    my daddy pulled out
a fish
                                                   I watched it flop and
shake
                                               started slowin down, til
it barely moved
                                                  I stood ten feet back
and stared
                                                        til it was
through
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
                                                   shook a pheasant from
a tree
                                                  when I saw that bird
come out
                                                 I knew the time had
come for me
                                               she started movin for the
clear blue sky
                                                  I aimed quick, let the
bullet fly
                                                I saw it goin right at
her, pass her by
                                                    as I watched bird
fly away
                                                   I dropped my gun and
cried
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
                                                 we got a deer laid him
in his tracks
                                               about fifteen mile form
the hunting shack
                                                when we walked up, he
was still alive
                                           I had to cut his throat with
my grandfather's knife
                                                   I slit his belly, his
gentle form
                                                   had to reach my hand
inside
                                                      it was soft and
warm
                                                 I pulled out his heart,
took a bite
                                                    as it went down my
throat
                                                      I felt that animal
fight
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
                                                     I felt it way down
inside
