Mind On Fishin'
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I got up early on this Lord’s day
With the Sun peekin’ through the curtains
Thought I’d wet a line
For a couple good hours
And still make the 10 o’clock sermon
But the sky is blue
And the breeze is cool
And they’re bitin’ good not to mention
If I left right now
Might make it somehow
But I doubt I could pay attention
I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
In the middle of his creation
In an old Jon Boat with my Zip pole rod
For some private conversation
There might be a few people talkin’ bad about me
When they see that I’m a’missin’
But I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
Than in church with my mind on fishin’
Well I like that preacher
And I love how it feels
When he really gets to throwin’ down
But I’d rather do my talkin’ with the man upstairs
When there’s nobody else around
If I was there right now
I’d be thinkin’ ‘bout which lure I was gonna cast
And he don’t need another fool
Sittin’ in that pew
Dreamin’ ‘bout a ten pound bass
I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
In the middle of his creation
In and old Jon Boat with my Zip pole rod
For some private conversation
There might be a few people talkin’ bad about me
When they see that I’m a’missin’
But I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
Than in church with my mind on fishin’
With my thoughts a’driftin’
I ain’t even listenin’
While it all goes right over my head
I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
In the middle of his creation
In an old Jon Boat with my Zip pole rod
For some private conversation
There might be a few people talkin’ bad about me
When they see that I’m a’missin’
But I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
Than in church with my mind on fishin’
I’d rather be on the lake with my mind on God
Than in church with my mind on fishin’
With my mind on fishin’
