Lyrics
I tie on the fly that's killed 'em before
Strip the line make a cast watch it soar
It kisses the water right where the shadow begins
Over the stump past the lilies where the big one lives
I don't move don't breathe don't dare reel it in
Just leave it in the zone
Leave it in the zone
Leave it leave it right there in the zone
Let the clock burn slow and the coffee go cold
Don't touch it don't rush it let the silence do its work
Give her time to turn time to look time to lurk
Just leave it in the zone
Leave it leave it alone
Ten seconds feel like ten thousand years
Line's twitching soft with a thousand small fears
Hand on the line but I don't dare strip
Patience is the price when you're courting the rip
She's down there circling I can almost hear her think
I just leave it in the zone
Leave it on the brink
Leave it leave it right there in the zone
Let the dragonfly land on the rod and call it home
The sun can crawl the heron can scream
I ain't moving till that reel starts to sing
Just leave it in the zone
Leave it let it breathe
This is the prayer nobody says out loud
The hardest part ain't the cast it's not reeling now
It's trusting the water trusting the wait
Trusting something you can't see to decide your fate
So I sit on my hands and I bite my tongue
And I leave it in the zone
Till the zone bites back
Then the rod doubles over I can hear the bells
Line rips off singing drags me out of the spell
She's heavy and mean and she knows every trick
But I gave her the time and time did the trick
I left it I left it right there in the zone
And the zone paid me back with a heart made of gold
Sometimes you fight sometimes you sit
Sometimes the only move is when you leave it
Yeah I left it in the zone
And the zone
Finally ate
So next time you cast brother do what I do
