  • 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
    I knew his name and it was good to see him again
    'Cause in the wind he's still alive

    Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
    Take me back, 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

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

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

    Because of Fred Bear
    I'll walk down these trails again
    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
    We're not alone when we're in the great outdoors
    We got his spirit, we've got his soul
    He will guide our steps, he'll guide our arrows home
    The restless spirit forever roams

    Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
    Take me back, back where I belong
    Oh, Fred Bear, I'm glad to have you at my side, my friend
    And I'll join you on the big hunt before too long

    Oh, Fred Bear, walk with me down the trails again
    Take me back, 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

    In the wind he's still alive
    In the wind he's still alive
    In the wind he's still alive
    In the wind he's still alive
    In the wind, I hear, I hear Fred Bear

    (I hear ya Fred,
    Talk to me,
    yea ,
    its all right
    lets go hunting baby
    Say Fred, you go up on that ridge
    And I'll go down in the swamp
    We'll get that buck)

    (Fred)
    (If some of our teenage thrill seeker really want to go out and get a thrill.
    Let them go up into the north west and let them tangle with a Grizzly bear
    or Polar bear or brown bear and get that effect that will cleanse the soul Writer/s: TED NUGENT

  • Randy Norris, Bryant Norris With Jon Roberts (rip) from Arizona The Home Of 602A most memorable time at the Celebrity theater listening to Ted Nugent with my son, and my old friend Jon(RIP).
    Ted opened with Stranglehold and I wondered just exactly how can he possibly follow up and end the show.
    Simple, with "Fred Bear", a very cool show.
    Thank you Jon for taking my son and me to Ted Nugent, Save us a place next to the creek where Elvis and the Lizard Man are slaying fish!
