Fish

He broke your heart
And he tore your dreams in two
And he kissed a bottom-feedin' sucker-fish
In front of you
Deep down you knew that it was never gonna last
'Cuz he's a piece of stink-bait
Always actin' like a bass and
Now you're thinkin'
Your ship is slowly sinkin'
You're stayin' up all night long
Drownin' in your drinkin'
Before you give up
Get your rear back in the water
Dance a jig
Jitterbug
Or tie on a hula popper
Then you throw out a line
Reel it back in
If you catch a boot
You gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish!
Now you heard the girl he's kissin'
Is stirrin' up a wake
Sayin she hooked you good
And threw you right back in the lake
Just remember what your mama said
About sticks and rocks
Even though you'd like to smack her
With your metal tackle box
You gotta throw out a line
Reel it back in
If you catch a boot
You gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish!
So don't say farewell to forever
Like happy ever after ain't never gonna work
Don't you throw the towel in
The last one you drug in
Was just a state record-breakin'
Large-mouth jerk
You gotta throw out a line
Reel it back in
If you catch a boot
You gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and
Throw out a line
Reel it back in
If you catch a boot
You gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish!
Yeah, get back in that boat and fish!
Girl, get back in that boat
And fish!
