When Doves Fly
A sporting event occurs every year
Participants find it a sensation
Hunting white wing doves along the “fly-by”
When they’re making their southern migration
The most favored hunting location is
Along the Texas/ Mexico border
Everyone brings lots of shells to this hunt
If you can, two shotguns are in order
These birds will normally fly-by in waves
Their flight is very fast and erratic
You must be alert and always prepared
Reactions must be quick and automatic
The shooting will be fast and furious
And your shotgun barrel will over-heat
If you planned ahead, grab that other gun
And keep-on shooting to bring home the meat
Excitement builds the day before the hunt
My dreams that night, I’ll see them in the sky
Keep thinking of the hunt, it hard to sleep
I’ll be ready tomorrow, “WHEN DOVES FLY”
