(VERSE I)
A D
Last year we had a bumper crop, When them white oak acorns started to drop
E A
So many I twisted my ankle walkin' to the stand
A D
Everywhere you look was a sweet resentin', Bigger round than a Florida lemon
E A
Was a white tail grocery store all over the land
A D
But this spring during turkey season, Jack frost came and he went to freezin'
E A
Everything with a bumble bee, a bud or a bloom
A D
Then summer came and there weren't no rain,Everybody said what a cryin' shame
E A
And the DNR predicted deer season was doomed
(PREChorus)
F# D
Well me and my buddies we got to thinking Sittin' around one night drinking
A E
How we gonna fill up our deer tags
F# D
Then a light went off I started to grin, I remembered 'bout my big grain bin
E
We started fillin' up fifty pound bags
A D
Of them yella acorns They're worth their weight in gold
E A
Im gonna have more meat than my old deep freeze can hold
A D
With all them yella acorns you'll have them eatin' from your hands
E A
Just don't get yourself busted by the man
VERSE II
A D
We filled us up a dump truck load My farm looked like the yella brick road
E A
Ain't this much corn in Nebraska or Illinois
A
Then a monster buck he come a sniffin around
D
I was about to lay that old hammer down
E A
When i heard a voice say "Get down from there, boy!"
A
Well I showed the warden my warnin' sign
D
That I posted up on my property line that said
E A
This here corns to feed the birds and the squirrels aight
A D E
Let me make just one thing clear, Any deer caught feedin' here is trespassin'
A
And will be shot on sight
(PREChorus)
F# D
And then he slipped them cuffs around my arms, Took all I had except the farm
A E
Took my truck my gun, took my cold beer
F# D
Now the only deer that I see is on TV and in the magazines
E
And I learned my lesson and now im steerin' clear
A D
Of them yella acorns, They'll land your butt in jail
E A
This orange jumpsuit ain't worth an ol' white tail
A D
Yella acorns you'll have them eatin' from your hands
E A
Just don't get yourself busted by the man
