I Just Wanna Fish

  • BACKSTORY
    • My grandfather used to take me and my older sister cane pole fishing when we were little. Then when my mom passed we went deep sea fishing with my dad to try and console him. And now I have a couple kids and enjoyed taking them fishing so I decided to sit down and write a song they could enjoy.

LYRICS

Intro

Uh hey, sorry boss man I gotta call out today.

No i’m just not reeling…i mean feelin good. 

Oh don’t worry yeah I’m going to the doc, the d-o-c-k

 

Verse

I just wanna get out in a boat

I don’t care where we go

Leave the kids and the wife

I wanna cast that perfect line

Somebody toss me a beer

I wanna make it crystal clear

I don’t give a flip about work

This is my one shot at the american dream

This song right here needs to hit me a million streams

 

Chorus

And when those fish bite

I go back way back in time

When i used to be

Sittin on, my grandpa’s knee

Yeah we were castin

Out on that glass and

I was only 12 yeah but, we were 

Livin the dream

Hittin those streams, 

Momma, look at me

I’m living the dream

They’re bubblin bubblin

Oh how i wish

Everyday of my life I I just wanna fish

 

Verse 2

Well these days all i got

are big bills and a little yard 

That i slave for

But i hope that i am made for more, Oh Yeah 

The boss can keep this 80 hours 

Makin me weak, holdin the Power 

Over my life, keepin me down

I wanna get so far out

In a bass boat

Before my truck gets repo’d

I really didn’t want you to know this about me

But hey hey isn’t this 

That kind of honesty I need for this song to hit 

A million streams

 

Chorus

And when those fish bite

I go back, way back in time

When i used to be 

Sittin up on my grandpa’s knee

Yeah we were casting

Out on that glass and

I was only 12 yeah oh momma but we were 

Livin the dream yeah

Just hittin those streams, now look at me

Living the dream

 

Bridge

I just wanna fish

Everyday is that, is that too much to ask

Oh yeah it costs money

But if this song right here would just hit a million streams

I could do it every day, oh yeah owww i just wanna fish

 

And when you hear this song playing on your radio

Pop them bobbers in that pond, and toss me a beer come on come on

God grant me that i may live to fish, until my dying day

Yeah I just wanna fish

 

Outro

They’re bubbling, bubbling

Hey how many streams does the song have so far?

Do I still have to go to work tomorrow?

Cause they’re, they’re bubbling.
