Lynyrd Skynyrd Gone Fishin` Lyrics

Gone Fishin` Lyrics

Yeah, ooh, ooh, the only time I get up early

Is to met my mules at the fishin' hole

I wanna catch the one that got away

I wanna feel my pole bending in that way



Since I was a kid, I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin', yeah



St. John's River runs north not south

Smart enough to have a large mouth

If you can hook 'em, you can mount 'em

You can keep 'em around

But if they break your line, they're gonna go back down



Since I was a kid, I felt this way

I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin'



Oh, ain't nothing like sunrise on the lake

Or when the moon comes up at night

Oh, there's things out there that can take your life

You might just die of fright



But I'll be there come rain or shine

See it's what I like to do

Only thing better than settin' the hook

Is settin' my hook in you



Oh, I fell hook, line and sinker gone fishin'

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, whoa, yeah



I've been everywhere, tried everything

But there ain't nothin' that feels the same

When you find the right one, it's a magical thing

Next thing you know, it's a diamond ring



Well, she hooked me and took my name

I fell hook line and sinker gone fishin', yeah

Gone, gone fishin', she hooked me

Gone, gone fishin', yeah, yeah

Gone, gone, gone fishin', yeah



She's my baby, gone, gone, gone fishin'

Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, gone fishin'
