I Went Fishin'
Lyrics
For fourteen 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 healin' 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
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 healin' 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 healin' 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'
