Lyrics
Dawn on the water flat as a mirror glass
Coffee in my thermos off to let go of the past
Rod in my right hand jig tied tight on the line
Ain't chasin' no paycheck just chasin' good times
Like skippin' stones when I was a kid
I'm skippin' hooks in the sticks
Pitch it low let it go watch it dance where the cypress drips
I'm flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Yankin' big fish for the grins and the kicks
Up in the shade over there by the bank
Flip it in the shadows let it sit let it sank
Big fish can't resist when it's hangin' in the dark like that
Leave it for a second... thump! There's the heart attack
I'm flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Crawfish colored skirt with a chunk trailer on
Silent entry no splash then the waitin' game is on
Feel that tick then nothin' better not jump the gun
Count one Mississippi two Mississippi... son here she comes
Reel down slow rod loads like a bow
Cross her eyes when I set that hook here we go!
I'm flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Yankin' big fish for the grins and the kicks
She's jumpin' and thumpin' tryin' to throw that plastic
But I got her buttoned up on 65-pound braided magic
From the laydowns to the docks every shadow's gettin' hit
I'm flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Yeah that's a hell of a fix
Ain't about the limit ain't about the fame
Just me and the water and a five-pound name
Snap a quick picture let her swim away
Got one more spot to hit 'fore the end of the day
Yeah I'm flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Yankin' big ol' fish for the grins and the kicks
Sun's gettin' low paintin' gold on the lake
One more cast for the memories we make
If heaven ain't got backwaters laydowns and cypress roots
Then I ain't goin' I'll just keep on doin' what I do
Flippin' my jig skippin' hooks in the sticks
Boys that right there... that's a hell of a cast
Tight lines and full coolers y'all
