I had already stopped by the bait shop
Filled up the cooler and the tank and the tackle box
Weatherman calling for cloudy and eighty-two
Sun down it's a full moon
I had my old red Ranger all shined up
My good rods and a better day lined up
I was ready to go
And it turned out she was too

So now I'm sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river
Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line
Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass
Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25
I don't know where it all went wrong
But all I know is that girl's gone
And a honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her
So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river

Had already made up her goodbye mind
Took her things left me nothin' but the tail lights
They say the neon and the jukebox helps the leavin'
That's the reason that I'm

Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river
Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line
Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass
Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25
I don't know where it all went wrong
But all I know is that girl's gone
And a honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her
So I'm sittin' in a bar instead of fishin' on a river

I outta be tired of throwin' 'em back by now
But here I am lettin' her go
Throwin' 'em back right now
Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river
Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river
(Wishin' I was with her)

Sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river
Wettin' my whistle 'stead of wettin' my line
Catchin' me a buzz, not catchin' me a bass
Runnin' up the tab instead of that Mercury 25
I don't know where it all went wrong
But all I know is that girl's gone
And a honey hole ain't gonna help me forget her
So I'm sittin' in a bar 'stead of fishin' on a river

I should be fishin' on a river
