Grizzly Bear Blues
Should I run or should I stand? It's an old debate
‘Cause sometimes it’s a bluff charge and then sometimes it ain't
Can they run downhill? Can they climb a tree?
Maybe that's just black bears, I can’t remember, hmm let's see
Should I shut up or should I shout and maybe try to scare him off?
Or will pretty much most anything I do just piss him off?
In the end it don't matter what you choose to do of course
When eight hundred pounds of grizzly bear outruns a quarter horse
Well them old grizzly blues got me kinda confused as to just what to do about them bears
Yeah them old grizzly blues got some conflicting views and not too much good news about them bears
Well I think I read it someplace, they kill only what they eat
So fumble through that guide book, just how often they eat meat?
Somebody find some answers, let's do a study of some kind
We'll make it scientific and let's see what we can find
‘Cause he's looks almost friendly with that easy amblin' gait
But when he decides he’s hungry makes me wanna hibernate
Well them old grizzly blues got me kinda confused as to just what to do about them bears
Yeah them old grizzly blues got some conflicting views and not too much good news about them bears
We’ve all heard that old chestnut, you know you don't outrun the grizz
You just outrun your slowest buddy, whoever that guy is
And that cub you found’s adorable, he's cute, yes I agree
There's only one thing missin' and that’s Momma, where is she?
BREAK
They'll dig up dead horses they smelled twenty miles away
Tommy said it happened on the ranch in just this way
Now I'm all for conservation, I say protect the kitchen sink
But this bear don't seem endangered, it might be me that goes extinct
Well them old grizzly blues got me kinda confused as to just what to do about them bears
Yeah them old grizzly blues got some conflicting views and not too much good news about them bears
