Fishin’ on a River

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had already stopped by the bait shop Filled up the cooler and the tank and the tackle box Weatherman callin' for cloudy and eighty-two Sun down, it's a full moon I had my old bass tracker all shined up My good rods and a better day lined up I was ready to go and it turns out she was too [Chorus] So now I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25 I don't know where it all went wrong But all I know is that girl's gone And a honeyhole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a rivеr [Verse 2] She already made up hеr goodbye mind Took her things, left me nothin' but them taillights They say the neon and the jukebox helps the leavin' And that's the reason that I'm [Chorus] Sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25 I don't know where it all went wrong But all I know is that girl's gone And a honeyhole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river [Bridge] I oughta be tired of throwin' 'em back by now But here I am lettin' her go, throwin' 'em back right now Sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river Sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river (I wish that I was with her) [Chorus] Sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25 I don't know where it all went wrong But all I know is that girl's gone And a honeyhole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river [Outro] I should be, I should be fishin' on a river (I should be, I should be fishin' on a river)
