One Shot, One Legend

Up on the ridge,

the autumn wind was cold

My dad was falling back,

his boots were getting old

Our guide said watch

the clearing up ahead

I held my breath and kept a steady tread

With my grandpa’s old trusty thirty-thirty load

Squeeze the trigger on that mountain road (yeah)

One single shot, the giant came down still Beside my dad

and the guide upon that hill

We saw the shadow move between the pine

My father caught up just in time

I raised the heavy iron to my eye

I let the hammer drop

beneath the sky

With my grandpa’s old trusty thirty-thirty load

Squeeze the trigger on that mountain road (oh

yeah)

One single shot,

the giant came down still Beside my dad

and the guide upon that hill

Grandpa’s steel, keeping us safe and true

We walked on down

beneath the fading blue (mmm-hmm)
