Fishin' On A River

 

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
