Lyrics
Cast it out slow let the line drift
The river's quiet but she's watchin'
You better be ready
Moonlight on the water line laid out clean
You better be ready for a bite on your fly
One second you're dreamin' the next it's a scene
You're gonna get a bite keep a watchful eye
The current's pullin' soft but the fish are sly
They eye that pattern then they decide
You better stay ready the next fish will give a fight
Heart poundin' fast in the cool midnight
Oh that's a good cast you're sure to get a bite
Be ready as you strip it slow let the tension rise
A fish will surely chase tailin' in the light
Let him bite the hook strip strike the fly with grace
Be ready there's a monster in that spot
Keep your mind in tune the bite's your only thought
Ready ready for the take
One false move and the moment breaks
Rod tip low line tight feel the subtle tug
The fly's dancin' perfect on the surface gleam
Then the swirl comes sudden like a thunder drug
You better stay ready this ain't a dream
Set the hook quick but gentle with control
Don't yank too hard or you'll lose your soul
He's runnin' deep fightin' hard and mean
But you stay calm let the rod do its thing
Oh that's a good cast you're sure to get a bite
Be ready as you strip it slow let the tension rise
A fish will surely chase tailin' in the light
Let him bite the hook strip strike the fly with grace
Be ready there's a monster in that spot
Keep your mind in tune the bite's your only thought
Ready ready for the take
One false move and the moment breaks
The river knows your secrets she's seen it all before
The big ones hide in the shadows waitin' for the score
One cast one drift one perfect presentation
Then the world stops and it's just you and the temptation
Strip strike with grace feel the rod bend and sing
That's the thrill of the chase that's everything
Oh that's a good cast you're sure to get a bite
