Headed out at first light water cold and clear
Sun's just kissin' the surface chasin' doubt and fear
Then I see it flashin' silver in the green
Heart starts thumpin' faster like a well-oiled machine
Oh there's one! Right over there
Swimmin' like he owns the water without a single care
I'll make a little cast and have a little fun
Rod in hand line in air the game's just begun!
Look at that another shadow, tailin' slow and sly
Glidin' through the shallows 'neath a wide blue sky
Grab my rod and this old fly give the old college try
False cast once or twice then let that baby fly
Oh there's one! I see him clear as day
He's comin' up the line now comin' my way
Make the cast and pray let the drift begin
Seein' fish is the goal catchin' fish is the win!
Scan the water far and wide huntin' for that shadow glide
Every ripple tells a story every shadow's got a side
One wrong move and he's gone spooked into the deep
But when the take comes sudden man that feeling's sweet
Oh there's one! Right over there
Swimmin' like he doesn't have a single care
I'll make a little cast and have a little fun
Rod tip high line tight yeah this battle's just begun
Seein' fish is the goal catchin' fish is the gold
Out here on the water where the wild stories are told!
