I shot an arrow into th'air, see,
like a dang city fool,
'thout lookin' where I's aimin',
deep in th' heart of
a hornets' nest th'size o'Texas.
Knocked it loose t'fall fifty feet
an' bust open like a mushmelon
on the ground in front o'me,
spillin' out the meanest maddest seeds
this side o'Damnation i'self:
ten thousand black-and-yaller fire wasps
rollin' 'round buzzin' like Ole Sparky,
eve'y last one lookin' t'personally kill ME...

Lawd have mercy!

I ain't no fraidy-cat sissy, but
I cut and run for m'life, boy;
workin' my clodhoppers toward th' cow pond
while them bugs come after me,
zoomin' and cussin' like a Stihl chainsaw.
I took a few hits on th'ears an' neck
'fore I made it to th'water,
jumped fifty feet out into the middle,
stayed under long s'I could.
When I come up them hornets was gone,
stampedin' a herd o'Charolais back up th'hill...

So watch where y'shoot.
Y'unnerstand what I'm sayin'...?
