Till You Find A Keeper

(album: Making Noise - 2014)

Sun rise on a creek bank
Some old poles and some fresh bait
Me and my grandpa wasting time
She's gone and I'm heart broke
I don't know how, but he knows
He could tell I needed some good advice

Grandpa ain't never been short on country wisdom
Said son you gotta treat love just like fishing

Start with a good strong line
Rear-back and let it go
Make sure you set that hook
Reel her in nice and slow
If she ain't the one you might have to go a little deeper
Just keep on fishing son till you find a keeper

Said looky there, you got a bite
The good ones are gonna fight
Boy ain't she playing hard to get
Well there is a low branch but don't get stuck
I mean you got hung up
Didn't even have time to grab that net

Grandpa just sat back down and started laughing
Don't worry about that one son, just keep on casting

Start with a good strong line
Rear-back and let it go
Make sure you set that hook
Reel her in nice and slow
If she ain't the one you might have to go a little deeper
Just keep on fishing son till you find a keeper

Later on that night, it was me and the boys
Hanging out with the tailgate down and making noise
Well there she was with a few of her friends
Sun-tanned legs and a cotton dress
She was looking at me, she was walking my way
In the back of my mind I heard grandpa say

Start with a good strong line
Rear-back and let it go
Make sure you set that hook
Reel her in nice and slow
If she ain't the one you might have to go a little deeper
Just keep on fishing son
Just keep on fishing son
Till you find a keeper
Till you find a keeper
Till you find a keeper, a keeper, a keeper
Till you find a keeper
