Aaron Watson - Fish Lyrics

He broke your heart and he tore your dreams in two
And he kissed a bottom-feedin' sucker-fish in front of you
Deep down you knew that it was never gonna last
'Cause he's a piece of stink-bait, always actin' like a bass and
Now you're thinkin' your ship is slowly sinkin'
You're stayin' up all night long, drownin' in your drinkin'
Before you give up get your rear back in the water
Dance a jig, jitterbug or tie on a hula popper

Then you throw out a line, reel it back in
If you catch a boot, you gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish

Now you heard the girl he's kissin' is stirrin' up a wake
Sayin' she hooked you good and threw you right back in the lake
Just remember what your mama said about sticks and rocks
Even though you'd like to smack her with your metal tackle box

Then you gotta throw out a line, reel it back in
And if you catch a boot, you gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish

So don't say farewell to forever like happy ever after ain't never gonna work
Don't you throw the towel in, the last one you drug in
Was just a state record-breakin', large-mouth jerk

You gotta throw out a line, reel it back in
And if you catch a boot, you gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish

Throw out a line, reel it back in
And if you catch a boot, you gotta cast it out again
You know you'll never catch a keeper
If you sit around and cry
So get back in that boat and fish

Yeah, get back in that boat and fish

Girl, get back in that boat and fish
