Justin Moore recently updated us on the animal count at his house, which is up to 11 – three dogs, three horses, three cows and two cats. But it turns out he almost ended up with a lot more, thanks to a three-day camp his daughters attended. Justin explains, “I went and picked ‘em up the day before it was over. They said, ‘Dad, you’ll never guess. Tomorrow, the last day,’ I go, ‘Yeah?’ ‘They’re givin’ all the animals away.’ She goes, ‘You can get anything for six bucks.’ So I’ve got the three girls, one of ‘ems goin’ ‘I want a bunny!’ Ella goes, ‘I want that chicken I held.’ And one of them wanted a horse. And then the wildest one was probably Kennedy if I had to guess, because she’s the goofball. She goes, ‘I want the llama.’”
Justin’s first thought was his girls had their information confused, because he said, “How do you arrive at six dollars for a bunny or a horse? But I thought there’s no way this is true. So I had Kate call somebody she knew there, and she goes, ‘Yeah we give ‘em all away and six bucks is the donat(ion).”
When Justin realized his daughters pretty much wanted him to take a horse trailer to the last day of summer camp and load up all the animals, he says, “I was like, ‘Uh, yeah, well I don’t think y’all are gettin’ to go tomorrow. But it could’ve got bad in a hurry. If I think I’ m in bad shape now, it could have ended up real bad.”
Luckily the animal count at Justin’s house is holding steady at 11, but another ‘$6 every animal must go’ sale at camp could cause him to add a verse to his latest single, “Why We Drink.”
Justin Moore – daughters wanted to adopt llama :58
“So the girls went to like a three-day day camp where they fish and they ride horses and all this stuff, real close to the house. They loved it I went and picked ‘em up the day before it was over. They said, ‘Dad, you’ll never guess. Tomorrow, the last day,’ I go, ‘Yeah?’ ‘They’re givin’ all the animals away.’ She goes, ‘You can get anything for six bucks.’ So I’ve got the three girls, one of ‘ems goin’ ‘I want a bunny!’ Ella goes, ‘I want that chicken I held.’ And one of them wanted a horse. And then the wildest one was probably Kennedy if I had to guess, because she’s the goofball. She goes, ‘I want the llama.’ I’m like, first of all, six dollars is strange. How do you arrive at six dollars for a bunny or a horse. But I thought there’s no way this is true. So I had Kate call somebody she knew there, and she goes, ‘Yeah we give ‘em all away and six bucks is the donat(ion). So they want me to take a horse trailer out and load up every animal. I was like, ‘Uh, yeah, well I don’t think y’all are gettin’ to go tomorrow. But it could’ve got bad in a hurry. If I think I’ m in bad shape now, it could have ended up real bad.”
