Gone Fishin'

Woke up at 5 am with that rooster's crow Loaded up the truck got the tackle box in tow Down to the river where the current runs slow Gonna find some peace where the tall grass grows Got my old man's rod with a few scratches and dents Baitin' that hook like it's been years since Casting out far let my worries go hence With the morning mist feelin' life's pure essence Gone fishin' just me and the breeze Time stops hearts on an easy freeze With the sun on the rise and the water at ease It's the simple things I do to feel free Saw an old oak tree where we carved our names Memories flood back like a gentle Spring rain Thinking 'bout the times young love untamed Now that place is just a pause in the game Caught a big ol' bass gave me one heck of a fight Reeling him in with all my might Laughing alone in the morning light It ain't about catchin' it's about feelin' right Gone fishin' just me and the breeze Time stops hearts on an easy freeze With the sun on the rise and the water at ease It's the simple things I do to feel free
