River Rat

The country is a closed damn gap

Know the river like the back of my hand with no map

Catch you fishing in my honey hole, 'bout to get slapped

Boy, ya better start back tracking that bass track

Got me talking like

Hell yeah it's about that time gotta fresh caught brim on a catfish line

Bout to drop my prop on a 9.9

And my flat bottom Jon boat, slippin' and slidin'

See, I'm swinging this bitch around the Ben so if you're fishing

Better get what you call and reel it in

I'm on a mission

'Bout to catch a big 50 pound flathead

Pull up to the gut shed, throw it on the table like yup, yup

Ain't nothing like a sunset setting on a homemade dock, daddy built in '97

It's the closest thing to heaven so I know I'm gonna go, see rolling in my golden Jon boat

Some folks are California boogie boarding beach bums

Some like a pool up in the back yard when the spring comes

Some people take it to the lake and get to making a splash

Not me, you know why, 'cause I

I'm a river rat

I'm a river rat

Gotta get to it baby yeah up at the crack

Let's all get the poles, throw 'em up in the back

If you a caffeine fiend, get a cup and a half

If you wake and bake man hit that puff and the pass

Got them lines all turnt and we workin' 'em

Channel cat white perch yeah we merkin them

Game warden said, "Ew you boys hurting them"

Pontoon full of dimes and they twerkin' 'em

Party on the bank get them boats tied up

Sang a little hank and got them fish fried up

Drank a little drank if not light up

Ole Silverado sank, man, it's just my luck

Got 13 girls in the back of my truck

Hit swamp road, gotta a little night stuck

It was all my fault, didn't hit the right rutt

But it worked out good

Must've had the tight touch

Some folks are California boogie boarding beach bums

Some like a pool up in the back yard when the spring comes

Some people take it to the lake and get to making a splash

Not me, you know why, 'cause I

I'm a river rat

I'ma need y'all to pay attention (class is in session)

Do exactly what I do right here

Y'all ready?

Lets go

Now slide to the left, to the back, to the right

Kick, turn, stomp that thing out right

Now one to the right, two back to the left

Shake it, shake it, shake it, but don't hurt yourself

Jump to the front put that thing in drive

Like a big truck driver just swing it real wide

Step to the back, put the thing in reverse

Turn it on around while you make it work

Work, work, work, work

Turn it on around while you make it work

Work, work, work, work

Let's step to the back, put the thing in reverse

Turn it on around while you make it work

Work, work, work, work

Now one to the right, two back to the left

Shake it, shake it, shake it, but don't hurt yourself

Some people take it to the lake and get to making a splash
