I Went Fishin'

For 14 years I had a best friend black lab

Hoggin' up the bench in a crew cab

Head hangin' on a two lane breeze

Burnin' up tires, just her and me

She went everywhere I went

'Til our time was through

I said my goodbyes, didn't know what to do

So I went fishin'

Wet a line

Let all the time just pass me by

I drank a beer in a boat

Really learned how to let a good one go

Watched the sky fade from red to blue

Talked to God there for an hour or two

Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'

I went fishin'

♪

Mary wasn't my first riverside kiss I ever had

But I damn sure wanted her to be my last

Me in love like I never dreamed

Had me thinkin' 'bout a diamond ring

But she had plans that I didn't fit in

By the time her plane was takin' off

I was droppin' that motor in

And I went fishin'

Wet a line

Let all the time just pass me by

I drank a beer in a boat

Really learned how to let a good one go

Watched the sky fade from red to blue

Talked to God there for an hour or two

Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'

Yeah, I went fishin'

♪

I've been to the bar to try to forget

Drove around for miles when nothin' made sense

But when I needed to face the gone

When I needed to start movin' on

I went fishin'

Wet a line

Let all the time just pass me by

I drank a beer in a boat

Really learned how to let a good one go

Watched the sky fade from red to blue

Talked to God there for an hour or two

Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'

When I had to shut the whole world off, even just for a minute

I went fishin'

Yeah, I went fishin'
