On The Hunt Lyrics
I said baby mama, I don't know your name
But I said baby, sugar I can play your game
Every night when we leave the hall
I see you hanging around
You wanna ride in my big black car baby
Wanna go uptown
(Chorus)
I know who you are baby
I know what they call you girl
Never put you down baby
I'm just like you baby, I'm on the hunt
I know lady
People gonna talk about you and me
Let me say one thing mama, sugar I do as I please
And if you wanna love me baby, I'm your man
And all those high-falutin' society people
I don't care if they don't undertand
(Chorus)
My daddy told me a long time ago
Said there's two things son
Two things you should know
And in these two things you must take pride
That's a horse and woman, yeah
Well both of them you ride
But I said baby, sugar I can play your game
Every night when we leave the hall
I see you hanging around
You wanna ride in my big black car baby
Wanna go uptown
I know who you are baby
I know what they call you girl
Never put you down baby
I'm just like you baby, I'm on the hunt
People gonna talk about you and me
Let me say one thing mama, sugar I do as I please
And if you wanna love me baby, I'm your man
And all those high-falutin' society people
I don't care if they don't undertand
Said there's two things son
Two things you should know
And in these two things you must take pride
That's a horse and woman, yeah
Well both of them you ride

I think she’s a groupie or a prostitute. Probably a groupie. He doesn’t know her name, but knows who she is—or rather what she is—a woman on the prowl…hunter of men. He isn’t judging her…but like his daddy told him, horses and women are meant for riding.
Love this riff and great song. It’s about getting back out there after a beak up in my opinion.
Awesome guitar solo too ! Skynyrd rocks
Great skynnard song. great if you just break up with your g/f and you're on the rebound. I'M LIKE YOU BABY, I'M ON THE HUNT!
This song rocks. It's about hooking up with a slut and not caring if other people don't like it.
Man this song is great. The little things make this so good. Like when he hums with the guitar in one of the solos. Its only for a second or two, but its good stuff man.
Def one of my fav Skynyrd songs....best line....a horse and a women both of them you ride.
Agree with intothegrinder
Great song, very mellow. I like when he says, "I'm a hunter!" I also like the hunter metaphor he uses for finding a female, it's very befitting of his intentions, barbaric.
He's a slut, she's a slut.....perfect for each other! Rock on, Ronnie!
