You know I feel so bad
About what I done
The life he coulda had
Before he met my gun
I can't take it back
It was an accident
I didn't see the rack
On the top of his head
I swore that was a doe
I swore that was a doe
I swore that was a big fat doe
But no, no, no
I swore that was a doe
But his antlers didn't show
I swore that was a big fat doe
But wouldn'tcha know
I had to bury him in the snow
It all happened so fast
Thank God no one saw
And if the C.O.'s ask
I'll deny it all
I'm not a bad guy
This happens all the time
That's what we tell ourselves
To help us sleep at night
I swore that was a doe
I swore that was a doe
I swore that was a big fat doe
But no, no, no
I swore that was a doe
But his antlers didn't show
I swore that was a big fat doe
But wouldn'tcha know
I had to bury him in the snow
In the snow, if only I had known
