There's a house in the woods
That my old man's old man
Built the best that he could
Outta trees off that land
Foundation's got a few cracks
Tin roof just trying to survive
Yeah, it ain't much to look at
But if you look inside
There's a buck on the wall
That my grandaddy killed
Back in '79
Up on that power line hill
And it won't be the same
Yeah, it's a damn shame
He ain't around this fall
Since he can't no more
You can bet your ass
I'll put another buck on the wall
I'm gonna live in those trees
Call in sick with no pay
I don't care if it's zero degrees
I'll sit there all day
And when I track him on down
I'll hold his horns up with pride
And drain my whole bank account
Just to put one beside
That buck on the wall
That my grandaddy killed
Back in '79
Up on that power line hill
And it won't be the same
Yeah, it's a damn shame
He ain't around this fall
But since he can't no more
You can bet your ass
I'll put another buck on the wall
It's the least I can do
To keep doing what he did
It just hurts me like hell
Oh, that he won't get to see it
That he won't get to see it
Oh, there's a buck on the wall
That my grandaddy killed
Back in '79
Up on that power line hill
And it won't be the same
Yeah, it's a damn shame
He ain't around this fall
But since he can't no more
You can bet your ass
I'll put another buck on the wall
I'll put another buck on the wall
I'll put another buck on the wall
