I was wearing camo, when camo wasn’t cool.

I remember wearing Woodland Camo

  Long before the birth of Mossy Oak

Real Tree was just something we

  saw in the woods

And Advantage was what we’d take

  if we could.

There was no Wetlands camo

  Not even Nat Gear

But simply hunting camo

  Like the Army would wear.

And I was wearing camo, when camo wasn’t cool.

I remember walking in for groceries

  Camo pants and all

I’d get lots of stares

  And I’m sure not all in awe

But I always held my head high

  Proud what I stood for

Because camo was more for me

  Than just something that I wore.

I was carrying on a tradition

  which I had grown to love

I want to be able to take care of my family

  If the world comes to push and shove.

I’m thankful for our freedom

  And our right to bear arms

And I’ll stand toe to toe

  With those who wish us harm.

So when I wear camo clothing

  It’s not just when I hunt

I wear camo clothing

  To make a statement.
