lyrics
granddaddy was a rambler just like me
eunice calmed him down when he was 23
every day hunting those blue ridge hills
his folks said hunting won’t pay the bills
killed himself a bear, hung his head on the wall
eunice let him do it, didn’t like it at all
starts those way up nights with those low down days
lord please bless this house that jumps, sings, and prays
every little chance the story got told
the bear got mean, the young man got old
eunice couldn’t help but sit back and grin
when he’d talk about killing that bear again
they say when good things come they come in threes
and good things always stop to say thanks and please
proud and strong, set me on his knee
someday son you’ll kill a bear like me
the hope, the sweat, the climb and the fall
and the bear looks kinda cool hanging on your wall
this highway’s just as dark as those blue ridge hills
hunting still won’t last or pay the bills
every little chance, every little win
the old man laughs, eunice just grins
the hope, the sweat, the climb and the fair
for the love, for the kids, for eunice and the bear
