Gone Fishin'

Yeah, oh, oh

The only time I get up early

Is to met my mules at the fishin' hole

I wanna catch the one that got away

I wanna feel my pole bending in that way

Since I was a kid I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker

Gone fishin' yeah

St. John's River runs north not south

Smart enough to have a large mouth

If you can hook 'em you can mount 'em

You can keep 'em around

But if they break your line

They're gonna go back down

Since I was a kid I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker

Gone fishin' yeah

Oh, ain't nothing like sunrise on the lake

Or when the moon comes up at night

There's things out there that can take your life

You might just die of fright

But I'll be there come rain or shine

Cause see it's what I like to do

Only thing better than settin' my hook

Is settin' my hook in you

I fell hook, line and sinker

Gone fishin', oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, whoa, yeah

I've been everywhere, tried everything

But there ain't nothin' that feels the same

When you find the right one, it's a magical thing

Next thing you know, it's a diamond ring

She hooked me and took my name

I fell hook line and sinker

Gone fishin', yeah

Gone, gone fishin'

She hooked me

Gone, gone fishin'

Yeah, yeah

Gone, gone, gone fishin'

Yeah, she's my baby

Gone, gone, gone fishin'

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh

Gone fishin'
