For 14 years I had a best friend black lab
Hogging up the bench in a crew cab
Head hanging on a two lane breeze
Burning up tires just her and me She went everywhere I went
Till her time was through I said my goodbyes
Didn't know what to do
So I went fishing,
wet and light
Let all the time just pass me by I drank a beer in a boat
Barely 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
hitting
I went fishing
Mary wasn't my first riverside kiss I ever had
But I damn sure wanted her to be my last In love like I never drained
Had me thinking about a diamond ring
But she had plans that I didn't fit in
By the time her plane was taking off I was dropping that motor in
And I went fishing,
wet and light Let all the time just pass me by
I drank a beer in a boat Barely 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 hitting
Yeah, I went fishing
I've been to the bar to try to forget Drove
around for miles but nothing made sense
But when I needed to face the gone When I needed to start moving on
I went fishing,
wet and light Let all the time just pass me by
I drank a beer in a boat Barely 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 hitting
When I had to shut the whole world off even just for a minute
I went fishing Yeah,
I went fishing
