I Just Wanna Fish Written by: Jonathan Pierce (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 1) 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 (Post chorus) 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.
