Fishin' Lyrics

Don't say you'll miss me

Just to keep me around

'Cause you'll only dismiss me, yeah

Reel me in and cast me out

Boy, you're pulling my line

Time after time

'Cause I've been waiting around

Oh, to see if you'll bite

But you're giving a fight

And you don't make no sound

'Cause when you cast out your lure

You are shooting your shot

And you can never be sure

What's coming next or just what you've got

Yeah, just like those dark waters, honey

No, I can't read a thing

And I can't wait here forever

When there ain't nothing happening

Oh, you don't dare make a move

Lest you scare 'em away

Less disaster and heartbreak

And excitement that way

So I didn't wanna move

Lest I scared you away

But it don't matter anyhow darling

Cuz you're the one that swam away

So don't say you'll miss me

Just to keep me around

'Cause you'll only dismiss me, yeah

Reel me in and cast me out

Boy, you're pulling my line

Time after time

'Cause I've been waiting around

Oh, to see if you'll bite

But you're giving a fight

And it's bringing me down

Well, if it weren't up to fate

I'd keep on being your bait

Hang out to help you catch a cute little blonde one

For you to troll and date

But I'm not your dang sinker, honey

And you ain't hooked me yet

And most of the time you're a stinker

I wish I could spin and forget

So don't say you'll miss me

Just to keep me around

'Cause you'll only dismiss me, yeah

Reel me in and cast me out

Were you and I just chumming along

Like the words to somebody else's song

And then when things got tough

And the waters got a little rough

Did you throw in the rod and give up

Get your tackle box and pack it up

So don't you feel bad for leaving

Without a proper goodbye

I just want the record to show

When you're out there fishing, just know

You ain't done me right

Oh, when you're out there somewhere fishing, honey

You ain't done me right
