Lyrics

[Verse 1] My grandfather's father Worked on the river And went out to sea When the tides were right Sometimes there weren't enough Fish to deliver Sometimes the gunnels Were piled up high [Verse 2] Me and my dad Had a boat we call Freedom And it's gettin' harder To see our way clear When the odds were against us We tried to beat 'em But we battlе through Year after year [Chorus] I throw out my soul To thе wild blue yonder And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder I can find my way home by the stars in the sky 'Cause I'm a fisherman Yes, a fisherman Till the day I die Till the day I die [Verse 3] I'm a fourth-generation Man of the water My nets and my lines Are the tools of my trade I'll be here tomorrow First thing in the morning Coming out of the mist Like a small town parade [Chorus] I throw out my soul To the wild blue yonder And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder I can find my way home by the stars in the sky 'Cause I'm a fisherman Yes, a fisherman Till the day I die Till the day I die [Bridge] But there's not much to mention 'Bout the fishing these days 'Cause my license, my livin' Have been taken away So I sit on my veranda And look across the bay [Chorus] And I throw out my soul To the wild blue yonder And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder I can find my way home by the stars in the sky 'Cause I'm a fisherman Yes, a fisherman And I throw out my soul To the wild blue yonder And where it would take me, sometimes I wonder I can find my way home by the stars in the sky 'Cause I'm a fisherman Yes, a fisherman Till the day I die Till the day I die
