Lyrics

Ten and Countin'

October comin
Ten of us, South Africa bound

October on the calendar, circled twice in red
Ten of my closest, South Africa straight ahead
Most of these men been huntin' since before I could walk
Sixty plus and still movin' like they ready to conquer the savanna
I'm forty three, the young one of the group this time
Hopin' I can keep up, hopin' my knees are fine
These men taught me everything, patience and the rest
Geduld
Now we goin' back together, chasin' one more harvest
Oes

Ten and countin, that's the number so far
South Africa callin, we don't need a bigger star
Ten good friends, one savanna, one long flight
Vriende
October comin' soon, we do this thing right
Lekker!
Ten and countin, brotherhood over years
Broederskap
Old legends leadin, young one wipin' tears
Ten and countin, that's the number so far
South Africa callin, that's exactly who we are

This land holds such beauty, felt by those who walk the savannah
Kudu, impala, warthog, and a whole lot more
This trip different though, it's about the men beside me
Sixty plus years old and they still outpace and guide me
One of 'em still walk the land without a single complaint
I'm over here stretchin' like my back about to break
But that's the beauty of it, age don't mean you slow down
It just means you learned the land better than the young ones around
Before we touch down in South Africa, we trained at home first
Pew Estate is us, that's where the discipline was rehearsed
October gon' test me, gon' test my whole body
Liggaam
But I'll take these lessons over any trophy
Trofee

Sixty plus and sharper than a man half their age
Watchin' these legends move, still turnin' the page
Legendes
I got the years but they got the wisdom to spend
Wysheid
October in Africa, brothers to the end

Ten and countin, that's the number so far
South Africa callin, we don't need a bigger star
Ten good friends, one savanna, one long flight
Vriende
October comin' soon, we do this thing right
Lekker!
Ten and countin, brotherhood over years
Broederskap
Old legends leadin, young one wipin' tears
Ten and countin, that's the number so far
South Africa callin, that's exactly who we are

October
South Africa
Ten and countin'
