Fishin' On A River

I had already stopped by the bait shop Filled up the cooler and the tank and the tackle box Weatherman calling for cloudy and eighty-two Sun down it's a full moon I had my old red Ranger all shined up My good rods and a better day lined up I was ready to go And it turned out she was too So now I'm sittin' in a bar 'stead 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 honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river Had already made up her goodbye mind Took her things left me nothin' but the tail lights They say the neon and the jukebox helps the leavin' That's the reason that I'm Sittin' in a bar 'stead 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 honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river I outta be tired of throwin' 'em back by now But here I am lettin' her go Throwin' 'em back right now Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river (Wishin' I was with her) Sittin' in a bar 'stead 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 honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her So I'm sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river I should be fishin' on a river
