 I took  a day off  from my workaday job
 To go  out hunting  with my best  friend Bob
 To get  back to nature,  get back  to the land
 And walk  in the forest  like a primitive man
,,,]
 A few  hours pardon  from life's  travail
 While we  go walk  and follow  the trail
Found  his spoor  and cut  his track
 And we spotted  a buck  with a six  point rack
Tracked  that fellow  through the afternoon
 Till Bob  turned to me  and said "turn  back soon"
 I said "Bob  we ain't getting  no deer  today"
 But that's  not why  we came anyway
 But to get  back to nature,  get back  to the land
 And hunt  in the forest  like a primitive man
Oh______  primitive man
Sun  going down  as we followed  the stream
Two  men walking  in a primitive dream
Rounded  the bend  and just  our luck
Head  down drinking  there's a six  point buck
Free'd  my rifle  and my aim  was good
Buck  look startled  and he dropped  where he stood
,,,]
,,,]
Two  men hunting  in the afternoon
 Gotta dress  out the deer,  gotta walk  out soon
 So I drew  my knife,  and I got  to work
 Bob rolled  up his sleeves  and he opened  his shirt
 And around  his neck  was a silken cord
 With a little  ring on  it that I'd seen  before
Said  to him "Bob",  as I raised  my knife
 "I believe  I gave  that ring  to my wife"
Oh______  primitive man
Oh______  primitive man
 Gotta learn  to keep still  and cover  your track
 You got  to move forward  when you can't  turn back
Drink  at night  from a quiet stream
One  man running  from the ruined dream
 And away  from the home  that he can't  see again
Running  in the forest  with the curse  of Cain
 To live  off nature, live  off the land
 And flee  from the hunters  like a primitive man.
Oh______  primitive man
Oh______  primitive man
Oh_______________  primitive man
Oh______  primitive man
Oh______  primitive man
Oh_______________  primitive man

I [Am]took a day [Am]off from my [Am]workaday [Am]job
To [Am]go out [Am]hunting with my [Am]best friend [Am]Bob
To [Am]get back to [Am]nature, get [Am]back to the [Am]land
And [Am]walk in the [Am]forest like a [Am]primitive [Am]man

[Am][Am][[Asus2],[Am],[Asus2],[Am7]][Am]

A [Am]few hours [Am]pardon from [Am]life's tra[Am]vail
While [Am]we go [Am]walk and [Am]follow the [Am]trail
[Am]Found his [Am]spoor and [Am]cut his [Am]track
And we [Am]spotted a [Am]buck with a [Am]six point [Am]rack

[Em]Tracked that [Em]fellow through the [G]after[Am]noon
Till [Em]Bob turned to [Em]me and said [G]"turn back [Am]soon"
I said [Em]"Bob we ain't [Em]getting no [G]deer to[Am]day"
But [Em]that's not [Em]why we came [G]any[Am]way

But to [Am]get back to [Am]nature, get [Am]back to the [Am]land
And [Am]hunt in the [Am]forest like a [Am]primitive [Am]man

[C]Oh___[G]___ primitive [Am]man

[Am]Sun going [Am]down as we [Am]followed the [Am]stream
[Am]Two men [Am]walking in a [Am]primitive [Am]dream
[Am]Rounded the [Am]bend and [Am]just our [Am]luck
[Am]Head down [Am]drinking there's a [Am]six point [Am]buck

[Em]Free'd my [Em]rifle and my [G]aim was [Am]good
[Em]Buck look [Em]startled and he [G]dropped where he [Am]stood

[Am]Two men [Am]hunting in the [Am]after[Am]noon
Gotta [Am]dress out the [Am]deer, gotta [Am]walk out [Am]soon
So I [Am]drew my [Am]knife, and I [Am]got to [Am]work
Bob [Am]rolled up his [Am]sleeves and he [Am]opened his [Am]shirt

And a[Em]round his [Em]neck was a [G6]silken [Am]cord
With a [Em]little ring [Em]on it that I'd [G6]seen be[Am]fore
[Am]Said to him [Am]"Bob", as I [Am]raised my [Am]knife
"I be[Am]lieve I [Am]gave that [Am]ring to my [Am]wife"

[C]Oh___[G]___ primitive [Am]man
[C]Oh___[G]___ primitive [Am]man

Gotta [Em]learn to keep [Em]still and [G6]cover your [Am]track
You [Em]got to move [Em]forward when you [G6]can't turn [Am]back
[Em]Drink at [Em]night from a [G6]quiet [Am]stream
[Em]One man [Em]running from the [G6]ruined [Am]dream

And a[Am]way from the [Am]home that he [Am]can't see a[Am]gain
[Am]Running in the [Am]forest with the [Am]curse of [Am]Cain
To [Am]live off [Am]nature, [Am]live off the [Am]land
And [Am]flee from the [Am]hunters like a [Am]primitive [Am]man.
