Jake Owen - 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 danger 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 sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
wetting my whistle instead of wetting my line
Catching me a buzz not catching me a bass
Running up the tab instead of that mercury twenty-five
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 for get her
So now I’m sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
Had already made up her goodbye mind
Took her things left me nothing but the tail lights
They say the neon and the jukebox helps the leaving
And that’s the reason that I’m
Sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
Wetting my whistle instead of wetting my line
Catching me a buzz not catching me a bass
Running up the tab instead of that mercury twenty-five
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 for get her
So now I’m sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
I outta be tired of throwing them back by now
But there I am letting her go
Throwing them back right now
Sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
Sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
(wishing I was with her)
Sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
Wetting my whistle instead of wetting my line
Catching me a buzz not catching me a bass
Running up the tab instead of that mercury twenty-five
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 for get her
So now I’m sitting in a bar instead of fishing on a river
