Lyrics
Grew up in the Smokies, where if you had some style
You'd creep on through the gullies, in search of something wild
To catch a fleeting glimpse of, to track and then to shoot
Some four-legged creature that was too cute to scoot
Well, back several years ago, my trigger finger itchin'
I held up my shotgun but my heart began a'twitchin'
They rushed me to the hospital, ran tests then I was told
No more eating red meat, too high in cholesterol
Now I'm a killer vegan, that's just what I do
Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew
It's potato season, on this you can rely
When one moves I'll shoot it, right between the eyes
The summer now is over, the days are getting short
Dark and darker spirits fill me with these thoughts
Of what I'll get a bead on, plug it dead to rights
No bean or green tomato is safe within my sights
I'm a killer vegan, that's just what I do
Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew
It's potato season, on this you can rely
When one moves I'll shoot it, right between the eyes
I just had some carrot juice and some twelve grain bread
With a tofu burger and now I'm set for bed
Soon I'll be a'dreamin', about my mountain thrill
Of hunting in the bushes, for a vegetable to kill
I'm a killer vegan, that's just what I do
Hunting round the countryside for my vegan stew
It's potato season, on this you can rely
When one moves I'll shoot it, right between the eyes
