I Went Fishin'

(альбом: Dirt Road Down - 2021)

For fourteen 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 our time was through
I said my goodbye, didn't know what to do

So I went fishing
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 hitting
I went fishing

Mary wasn't my first riverside kiss I ever had
But I damn sure wanted her to be my last
Yeah love like I never dreamed
Had me thinking bout 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 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 hitting
Yeah I went fishing

I've been to the bar to try to forget
Drove around for miles when nothing made sense
But when I needed to face the gone
When I needed to start moving on

I went fishing
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 hitting

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