I'm gonna shine up my boots, pick out my best hat
Goin' to a place called the Old Briar Patch
Gonna get loose and I'm gonna have fun
Gonna go huntin' but I won't need a gun, now

Well the season is always open and there ain't no limit you see
And they can be more challenging than a rocky mountain sheep
I have hunted them four legged deer but the two legs are a lot more fun
I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord but I ain't takin' no gun

Cause, the kind of game I'm lookin' for is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big old grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs and their skin's already tanned in the sun
Gonna go huntin' tonight Lord but I ain't takin' no gun

Now those big old beautiful wildcats, are the kind that are hard to track
Cause the joint is crawlin' with the other hunters and the she cats are doublin' back
Now is the time for patience, don't fire on the first one
Don't waste your bullets on a little bitty baby, get a full grown woman

Hey, the kind of game I'm talkin' for is not that hard to snare
But they can be more dangerous than a big old grizzly bear
They got long claws, long legs and their skin's already tanned in the sun
Gonna go huntin' tonight, boy but I ain't takin' no gun

I'm gonna go huntin' tonight Lord but no light and no gun
