Sweetwater

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sweetwater casts his line Leaning up against the No Fishing sign Cops go by don't pay him no mind Like it's always been that way Sweetwater got that name 'Cause when he drop his hook The fish come running And now he's got this much preferred spot And he'll work it the rest of the day [Pre-Chorus] Every once in a while some uninformed child Will make fun of his crippled right hand And an older child will smack the young one Upside the back of his head sayin' "Don't you get it?" [Chorus] Sweetwater Throw out a line Show me how you do your Day to day Sweetwater Ain't that a crime The way you got to do your Day to day [Verse 2] Sweetwater broke up a fight latе one night And caught a knife in that right hand But he savеd the life of this young girl Caught up in a drug deal going all wrong Turns out she was the Mayor's child Quite the news item for a little while I can still see the Mayor pinning that star On Sweetwater's jacket and the cameras all flashin' [Pre-Chorus] Sweetwater did a tour Back in '51, the Korean War Still he remains undecorated Save for that star [Chorus] Sweetwater Throw out a line Show me how you do your Day to day Sweetwater Ain't that a crime The way you got to do your Day to day [Bridge] Show me how you do it (Do it) (Show me how you do it, do it) (Show me how you do it, do it) (Show me how you do it, do it) Show me how you do it, do it, do it (Show me how you do it, do it) Show me how you do it (Show me how you do it, do it) (Show me how you do it, do it) "Ain't no secret" Sweetwater said "Check out my hook—it ain't about bait You can see for yourself It's the left-handed cast Of a right-handed man That gives me my touch" [Verse 3] And all the fish understand Hell, they line up just to get caught by Sweetwater Yes they do And at the end of the day He'll take the very last one And tell the rest of 'em "I'll see y'all tomorrow" [Chorus] Sweetwater Throw out a line Show me how you do your Day to day Sweetwater Ain't that a crime The way you got to do your Day to day [Outro] Come on, show me how you do it Do it Show me how Show me how you do your day to day Come on now Sweetwater Cast the night and day Show me how you do your day to day Show me how you do it Do your day to day
