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.
