Gone Fishing

He'd been on the lake more times this month then all last year combined

I didn't think much of it 'til he stayed out there all night

So I drove out to Percy Priest

Found him kissing some blonde in his back seat

Had an epiphany, told myself that I

Had to teach that good old boy a lesson when the sun got settin'

He's gone fishing out in the dark

Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car

Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box

Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox

He's gone fishing, I'm at the bar

Perfect alibi, drinking PBR

Nobody even knows he's missing

Bet he's wishing

He'd never gone fishing

I'll give it a couple days and then I'll call the cops

Say that I ain't seen him since he walked out with his Zebco rod

Try to cry a tear or two when I'm interviewed on the local news

Join the search crew, beg 'em not to call it off

Do everything a heart broke wife would do

Except tell the truth

He's gone fishing out in the dark

Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car

Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box

Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox

He's gone fishing, I'm at the bar

Perfect alibi, drinking PBR

Nobody even knows he's missing

Bet he's wishing

He'd never gone fishing

I bet you do, baby

Mmm, mmm, it's a real small town

I'm sure I'll see that blonde around

I wouldn't be surprised if out of the blue

Turns out she's gone fishing too

He's gone fishing out in the dark

Wasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car

Had to scrub down the dock and his tackle box

Used a whole damn gallon of Clorox

He's gone fishing, I'm at the bar

Perfect alibi, drinking PBR

Nobody even knows he's missing

Bet he's wishing

He'd never gone fishing

I bet he's wishing

Wishing he'd never gone fishing

I bet he's wishing

Wishing he'd never gone fishing

Wishing he'd never gone fishing

Hmm-mmm
