Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and lightnin' bugs
Are floatin' on the breeze, baby, get ready
You gettin' ready out there?
[Verse 2]
Across the field where the crick turns back
By the old stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place
That nobody knows, baby, get ready
[Verse 3]
Ooh, ooh
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
It feels so good to be with you
[Verse 4]
Spring is almost over and the summer's come
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you alone, baby, get ready
[Verse 5]
Yeah, it don't matter if we sit forever
And the fish don't bite
We'll jump in the river and cool ourselves
From the heat of the night, baby, get ready
Are you ready, baby?
[Verse 6]
Ooh
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
Lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow
Stayin' the whole night through
It feels so good to be with
[Verse 7]
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
We're lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moonlight
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow (Movin' real slow)
[Verse 8]
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
We're lyin' on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows
You and me goin' fishin' in the dark
