Trout Fishing

Verse 1

I get up early in the morning gonna catch a fish or two
I drink a cup of coffee and I fumble for my shoes
I grab my favorite spinner with it's trusty treble hook
I slide into my waders and I go down to the brook
You gotta keep it quiet if you wanna get them out
I'm going trout fishing

Verse 2

Well brookies and browns you know they're both okay
And rainbows dancing on the water really makes my day
You know I'm going to power fish that stream all day
Try not to fill my waders when I slip on the clay
Here comes a damn canoe don't they know what it's about
I'm going trout fishing

Verse 3

Well there's a whole lot of purists like to fish with flies
But I'm a K-Mart spinner fisherman until the day I die
I flip that rooster tail and it flies through the air
And where it's gonna land I don't know and I don't care
Those purists are all butt heads in my mind there is no doubt
I'm going trout fishing

Verse 4

I fish these streams from sun to sun
Because a lip stretchers job is never done
There's nothing like the feeling of a trout in my creel
I cut their head off rip their guts out and I have me a meal
I take more than my limit when the CO's not about
I'm going trout fishing

Verse 5

Well my friends and I go out and we drink a lot of beer
And I'm sorry about the spinner that I lodged in your ear
I'm sure it will come loose if I give it a try
Just be thankful that I didn't cast one into your eye
This sports a lot more fun when you do it all whacked out
I'm going trout fishing
