Wildlife on Knight Road

[Verse 1]
Late September on Knight Road
Summer letting go
Morning mist across the pasture
Sun coming up slow

Dead armadillo by the fence line
Buzzards gathering ’round
Everybody knows their order
When supper hits the ground

[Verse 2]
Two young coyotes in the back field
Chasing through the hay
Running circles like two children
At the end of day

We think they moved the garden hose
Clean out to the Henge
Things get moved around at midnight
Out here now and then

[Chorus]
It’s a wild life on Knight Road
Underneath a Georgia sky
Something’s always moving
Something’s always passing by

From the tree line to the pasture
From the creek bed to the pines
We just share this little piece of earth
For a little piece of time

[Verse 3]
Murder of crows behind the mower
Working freshly cut ground
Buzzards drawing lazy circles
Without making any sound

Turkeys wandering from the timber
Mama deer and young
Looking for a little something
Sweet and green and tender

[Verse 4]
Mockingbirds and red cardinals
Bluebirds, doves and hawks
Hummingbirds still at the feeder
Before their journey south

Two bats “doing it” on the back porch
Now there’s quite a view
Late September on Knight Road—
That’s just wildlife too

[Chorus]
It’s a wild life on Knight Road
Underneath a Georgia sky
Something’s always moving
Something’s always passing by

From the tree line to the pasture
From the creek bed to the pines
We just share this little piece of earth
For a little piece of time

[Bridge]
Shane’s pigeons circle overhead
Then turn together home
Cooler watches from the roadside
Rasta on his trampoline

Lucy, Owen, Lux and Rizzie
Know this road by heart
Every morning down the same old lane
Another day can start

[Final Chorus]
It’s a wild life on Knight Road
September drifting by
Coyotes in the pasture
Buzzards in the sky

There’s a rhythm to the seasons
You don’t have to understand
Just walk awhile and listen
To the life upon the land

[Outro]
Late September on Knight Road
Evening settling low
Tomorrow there’ll be something new
Coming down the road
