Packed my tackle box this morning, grabbed my favorite pole Left my worries at the door, gonna heal my restless soul There's a bend in Wilson Creek where the water runs so clear Where the world slows down to nothing, and my troubles disappear I'm going down by the creek today Where the cattails sway and the bass all play Got my line in the water, sun on my face This is my kind of hiding place Down by the creek, down by the creek That's where you'll find me City lights can keep on flashing, phones can buzz all day But I've got muddy boots and patience, that's my getaway Grandpa taught me how to cast here when I was just a kid Said "Honey, life's too short for rushing, slow down like the creek did" I'm going down by the creek today Where the cattails sway and the bass all play Got my line in the water, sun on my face This is my kind of hiding place Down by the creek, down by the creek That's where you'll find me When the world gets too loud and I can't find my way I remember what the water taught me every single day Sometimes you gotta cast your line and just wait for a bite Sometimes the best catch of all is finding peace inside I'm going down by the creek today Where the cattails sway and the bass all play Got my line in the water, sun on my face This is my kind of hiding place Down by the creek, down by the creek That's where you'll find me Yeah, that's where you'll find me
