One fine day flippin' to the shore
Castin' for fish feel that tug once more
Aimin' for shadows where big ones hide
Castin' like a pro my popper glides
Salt spray hits tide runnin' high
Dreamin' of strikes 'neath a sunshine sky
Oh my fly's hooked in the mangroves tangled in green
Yankin' like a mad man stuck in between
Shake left shake right it's jammed in sight
Mangroves grab tight won't give back fly whippin' hack
Tiny hook snagged line pulls tight
Turn this ship 'round recovery fight!
Next cast wild breaks my heart to see
Snagged in the branches can't shake free
Pull with might rod dancin' pain
Cursin' the roots that mock my domain
Fish dance shadows just out of reach
Now it's me vs tangle no help can't reach
Oh my fly's hooked in the mangroves tangled in green
Yankin' like an animal stuck in between
Shake left shake right it's jammed in sight
Mangroves grab tight won't give back fly whippin' hack
Tiny hook snagged line pulls tight
Turn this ship 'round recovery fight!
Nothin' good 'bout hookin' the groves
Fish spook in droves mud puffs as they go
Up to branches reachin' unknown
Save my fly from this leafy throne
Boat cracks sticks hull in the muck
Snap the branch clear line no fish luck
Bank blown empty no trophies to claim
Cast to sticks again blamin' the game
Pullin' and shakin' mangrove tricks
Twist like gator dodge thorns and pricks
Pops free at last bent and askew
Lesson learned: cast true in the blue
I'm back tomorrow rod in hand
Chasin' a thrill in this mangrove stand
I'm back tomorrow rod in hand
Chasin' a thrill in this mangrove stand
