paroles de chanson Grizzly Bear Blues - Corb Lund

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 'em off
Well, pretty much most anything I do'll just piss 'em off
In the end, it don't matter
What you choose to do, of course
When 800 pounds of grizzly bear
Outruns a quarter horse

Well, them old grizzly blues
Got me kind of 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 guidebook
Just how often they eat meat

Well, somebody find some matches
Let's do a study of some kind
We'll make it scientific
And let's see what we can find

'Cause he 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 conflictin' 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
But there's only one thing missin'
And that's mama, where is she?

They'll dig up dead horses
They smell 20 miles away
Thomas said it happened
On the ranch just this week

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
