Lyrics
Out on the water at the break of dawn
Line's in my hand the river's callin' strong
Bait's on the hook rod's bendin' low
But first things first gotta make this throw
Fingers flyin' fast in the misty blue
Loop it twist it pull it through
Ain't no fancy name just gets the job done
When the big one hits this here's the one
Yeah that knot'll do It works for me and it works for you
Yeah that knot'll do Couldn't tie it better if I had a whole crew
You know that knot don't you? Looks pretty tight I'm sure it is tied right
I even left an extra bite Yeah that knot'll do
If it works for me it'll work for you
Grandpa taught me back when I was knee high"Son, perfection's fine, but fishin' don't lie
A sloppy loop might hold a trout or two
But when the bass strikes, you need somethin' true"
Sweat on my brow the current's pullin' hard
Reel it in slow play that fightin' card
No need for tools or a sailor's degree
This humble hitch sets the wild ones free
Yeah that knot'll do It works for me, and it works for you
Yeah that knot'll do Couldn't tie it better if I had a whole crew
You know that knot don't you? Looks pretty tight I'm sure it is tied right
I even left an extra bite Yeah that knot'll do
If it works for me it'll work for you
Now life's like that line tangled and taut
Sometimes you cinch it with all you got
A buddy's advice or a lover's vow
Don't overthink it just tie it now
It might not gleam like a pro's best work
But it'll hold through the storm and the murk
Raise your glass to the simple and true
Here's to the knots that pull us through
Yeah that knot'll do.. works for me, works for you
Yeah that knot'll do.. better than a crew
You know that knot don't you? Tight as can be
Looks pretty tight.. extra bite for me
Yeah that knot'll do.. if it works for me it'll work for you
Yeah that knot'll do..
