Gone Fishin'

I've never seen my mail man or met the neighbors for heavens sake

I'm always up before the break of dawn and I always get home late

I never wanna live the city life. I'm all about Montana Livin'

And if I'm not at home, you can bet your ass I'm gone fishin'

Gone Fishin'

Yeah

I tied a new nymph fly today when I got off of work

I played Daddy in a game of cribbage, stayed for dinner and dessert

They asked me why I don't got a girl. I said I guess it's just slim pickings

We want grandkids Sonny and you ain't making any gone fishin'

Gone fishin'

Yeah

The pastor caught me at the grocery store. He said, "We missed you at communion"

I said, "I'm sorry, but I had a meeting with The Fisherman's Labor Union"

He said, "My honey hole ain't hitting' home. I could use an expert's opinion"

"I'll make a deal with you Father. Let me court your daughter."

Next Sunday Father Pat was missin'

He and I were gone fishin'

We were gone fishin'

I took the Father fishin'

Well I'm a crazy mountain man is what people say

I'm always gone fishin' every night and day

My Papa and my Daddy done raised me this way

I'm always gone fishin' and that's okay

Gone fishin'

Gone fishin'

I'm always gone fishin'

Well you've seen it before

Read the sign on the door

I'm gone fishin'
