He pulled up in his red Corvette Salmon shorts and a white V-neck I said, “Wow, you know how to dress down for a city guy.”
We headed out to a spot on the lake A couple Zebcos and a cup full of bait I could tell pretty fast he had more than just bass on his mind
Oh, I was fishing He was wishing We were kissing I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can Getting closer Sliding over Crowding up my casting shoulder Reaching out and trying to hold my reeling hand
Saying I’m pretty Saying he’s in love And how it don’t get any better than this I said, “Yeah, it could, Boy, if you would Shut up and fish.”
For a little while he calmed down and let up But then he went right back to pushing his luck That line of mine wasn’t all I wanted to throw in Oh, no
I was fishing He was wishing We were kissing I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can Getting closer Sliding over Crowding up my casting shoulder Reaching out and trying to hold my reeling hand
Saying I’m pretty Saying he’s in love And how it don’t get any better than this I said, “Yeah, it could, Boy, if you would Shut up and fish.”
I finally had all of him that I could take So I gave him a cold shower in the lake
What can I say?
I was fishing He was wishing We were kissing I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can Getting closer Sliding over Playing captain Casanova [Alternative version:] Crowding up my casting shoulder Reaching out and tryna hold my reeling hand [Alternative version:] Trying to reach out and hold my reeling hand
Saying I’m pretty Saying he’s in love And how it don’t get any better than this I said, “Yeah, it could, Boy, if you would Shut up and fish.”
Just a little push ‘Cause he couldn’t just Shut up and fish
