lyrics

Goin' on a hike packin' what I oughtta'
Bug spray pocket knife lots of water
Smart phone camera in case I see an otter
Aim real quick make sure I caught 'er

Goin' on a hike bringin' things I should
Like some toilet paper so I can wipe my butt
You know the old question 'bout a bear in the woods
Do they crap out there if I was them I would

Goin' on a hike got my protein bars
High top boots and a pickle jar
Why would I bring a pickle jar
That's my commitment to the rhyme
I always take it too far

Goin' on a hike with my buddy Rob
He's a private chef that's a bad ass job
Anything you like he can cook no prob
But when we're out in the woods
We sound like Calvin and Hobbs

Goin' on a hike up at 3am
Only slept a bit coulda' used more REM
No not the band though I do like them
Good old Michael Stipe yeah he's such a gem

Goin' on a hike neighbor pissed me off
Made a bunch of noise around 10 o'clock
I hope their cat pukes on their favorite socks
And that Elon Musk ruins all their stocks

A song every day while I'm tryin' to hike
Had to write this one before twilight
I'll be real tired when we get back tonight
Maybe this ain't a hit but it came out alright
