Fish

[Verse 1] I took a short vacation to the Gulf of Mexico Everyday I’d see this fellow with his tackle box and pole And he’d fish and he’d fish All day long So one day I went out walking and when I got down to his spot Me and him we got to talking I said have you ever thought About what you are gonna do with your life? [Pre-Chorus] I said I’m about to share with you my secret to success So you can go make something of yourself [Chorus] You can sell these fish you’re catching You can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know If you reinvest your money you’ll be captain of the fleet You’ll be sitting pretty down on easy street You can do anything that you wish He said you mean fish?              [Verse 2] His simple words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes And it really got me thinking about the way I live my life Cause I’d just work And I’d work All day long So I asked myself a question that I knew the answer to Is success second mortgage on big house with pool? Or is it a chair and salty air wetting the line [Pre-Chorus] That advice I tried to give him to take him to the top Is really nothing more than just a crock [Chorus] You can sell these fish you’re catching You can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know If you reinvest your money you’ll be captain of the fleet You’ll be sitting pretty down on easy street You can do anything that you wish He said you mean fish? [Bridge] So I went and bought some tackle and a bucket full of bait You can find here most everyday with my chair sitting there next to him And we’d just fish Yeah we’d just fish yeah fish fish fish fish fish      [Outro] /   /  / /
