I've got a fishin' pole and plenty of line
I'm gonna get you over, it's a matter of time
I've got a sweet spot just around the bend in the creek
I'm gonna throw it in where the water's real deep
(Chorus)
Catfish, big bass, fresh water trout
I think you get the picture what I'm talking about
It's just too nice a day for me to sit and cry
You were some kind of catch but I got bigger fish to fry
I got cheese bait, salmon eggs, Boy Howdy lures
I got my boat on the trailer and a six pack of Coors
Got a tape of Merle Haggard called "The Way I Am"
Half a stick of butter and a fryin' pan
(Repeat chorus)
I feel a little nibble and I'm ready to fight
No I ain't backin' down like I did last night
So if the boys at the bar start askin' where I've been
Since you threw me back I've been reelin' 'em in
(Repeat chorus)
