Traded In One Camo For Another

at 19 i went from a small town
to a small base
dirt and sweat coverin my face
sun beatin down
stomp
boots hit the ground
but that seems so long ago now
oh

i traded in grays for green and brown
shootin a different type of riffle now
got a different kind of target lined up
buck shot
now instead of a matv
i'm drivin a chevy truck
kickin up dust
instead of a m4
i've got a 30 ought 6
yeah out in the woods is how i get my kicks
hey brother
i traded in one camo for another

instead of being at war
now i spend all night and day in a tree stand
but no matter what changes
i still love the feel of a riffle in my hand
yeah some people might not get it
sometimes neither do i
but when i got it lined up
you know i'm gonna hit it
uh

i traded in grays for green and brown
shootin a different type of riffle now
got a different kind of target lined up
buck shot
now instead of a matv
i'm drivin a chevy truck
kickin up dust
instead of a m4
i've got a 30 ought 6
yeah out in the woods is how i get my kicks
hey brother
i traded in one camo for another

always been a country girl
i went from traveling the world
to shootin birds, deer and squirrel
oh

i traded in grays for green and brown
shootin a different type of riffle now
got a different kind of target lined up
buck shot
now instead of a matv
i'm drivin a chevy truck
kickin up dust
instead of a m4
i've got a 30 ought 6
yeah out in the woods is how i get my kicks
hey brother
i traded in one camo for another
