colby t. helms - dove song lyrics

way down in southwest virginia
there’s a few good ol’ boys who stand there drinkin’
six+pack and a 12+gauge, you’ll see them a+sittin’
waitin’ on doves to fly by
it’s hotter than h+ll, no place to sit down
it starts at noon and there’s no doves around
most boys go out and they act like clowns
but, lord, i was persistent

my daddy would take me when i was a boy
i held my ears ’cause i hated the noise
i’d go get his gun, sometimes they weren’t dead
i’d cry to myself when he’d wring their neck

well, now i am older, my daddy is gonе
i hunt these same cornfiеlds all on my own
his old remington i hold in my hands
to prove to myself that i am a man

[instrumental break]

i have sat here for hours, still seen no doves
if i could just prove to the one girl i love
she don’t give a d+mn how hard i try
she’s caught up in the mirror and the world’s greatest lie
my cousin once told me way out in the pasture
those migratory birds, they fly so much faster
oh, local doves sit around and get fatter
lookin’ down from that power line
it reminds me of how some folks go through life
just sittin’ and waitin’ for love to pass by
other boys go out and we try to fly
like doves, we’re always shot down

[instrumental break]

like those poor doves i was mournin’
all my buddies, i was cussin’ and scornin’
knowin’ i’d go out that very next morning
and do the d+mn thing again

way down in southwest virginia
there’s a good ol’ boy who needs some more ammunition
