Fred Bear (The Original American Hunter’s Theme Song) Songtext
von Ted Nugent

There I was, back in the wild again
And I felt right at home where I belong
I had that feelin′ comin' over me again
Just like it happened so many times before

The spirit of the woods is like an old good friend
It makes me feel warm and good inside
And I knew his name and is good to see him again
′Cause in the wind he's still alive

I'm talkin′ about Fred Bear
Walk with me down the trails again
Take me back, take me back where I belong

Oh, Fred Bear
I′m glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long
Before too long

And it was kinda dark, another misty dusk
And it came from a tangle down below
And I tried to remember everythin′ he taught me so well
I had to decide which way to go


Was I alone or in a hunter's dream?
The moment of truth was here and now
I felt his touch, I felt his guidin′ hand
The buck was mine, forevermore

Because of Fred Bear
I'll walk down those trails again
He takes me back, takes me where I belong
Fred Bear, I′m glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I'll join you in the big hunt before too long

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah

And we're not alone
When we′re in the great outdoors
We got his spirit, we′ve got his soul
And he guides my steps, guides my arrows home
The restless spirit forever roams

And he roams Fred Bear
When I walk down those trails again
He takes me back, takes me back where I belong
Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side, my friend
And I will join you on the big hunt before too long


′Cause in the wind he's still alive
In the wind, he′s still alive
In the wind I can hear
I hear Fred Bear

I hear ya' Fred
Let′s go huntin', buddy, come on
Yeah, hey Fred, you go up that ridge
And I'll go down in their swamp
We′ll get that buck
Let′s go huntin'
Spirit
In the wind
