We met four years ago while hunting deer, And ever since that time we've been close friends. I'm the killer, he's become the bear: I love the layered message that this sends. He drives two Chevy GMC's--one black, And a red one that he calls the General. Four-wheeling down some bumpy backwoods track Is what makes him and me most comfortable. We're buddies, even though a boy and girl, And through the years our friendship's only grown. Life gets to you sometimes as troubles swirl, But he's the best ear I have ever known. We have, of course, compatibility; But, deeper, love and rough equality.
