**My Cell Phone Don’t Work (Gone Fishing)** [Instrumental intro only: 2–4 seconds of acoustic guitar. ABSOLUTELY NO laughing, chuckling, or ad-libs. Singer begins directly with the first lyric.] [Verse 1] I can hear your footsteps on the gravel I duck and hide behind the barn Got my fishing pole and bait Gotta sneak away before it’s too late I don’t know what I did this time But you look serious I wonder, are we gonna talk about feelings? ’Cause that stresses me out I’m no good at that All I’m thinking Is I gotta get out of here [Chorus] Hey, slow down Just wait a minute Before you start yelling at me My cell phone wasn’t working Not my fault I didn’t know you were trying to get a hold of me I’m thinking I gotta get out of here Gotta run [Verse 2] I was working hard Delivering wood Just the other day Can’t help it if the river Is right along the way Just happened my pole was in my truck Thought I’d take a break and try my luck Cast my lure down by the side Of the riverbank Boy, were the fish really biting Caught my limit And then some Lost track of time [Chorus] Hey, slow down Just wait a minute Before you start yelling at me My cell phone wasn’t working Not my fault I didn’t know you were trying to get a hold of me I don’t know what I did this time But you look serious Are we gonna talk about feelings? ’Cause that stresses me out I’m no good at that All I’m thinking Is I gotta get out of here [Verse 3] Life was so much less complicated Before I got mixed up with you But now I’m in deep So deep It’s hard to escape So now when I see you coming I just gotta get out of here Give me back my life before Hanging out with friends Work and fishing Really nothing more [Bridge] Now I’ve got to plan my escape Sneak away Look over my shoulder ’Cause I never know What’s gonna get me In trouble with you Gotta grab my pole and bait Sneak away [Final Chorus] Wish I had a sign That said, “Gone Fishing” If I get out of here Far enough away My cell phone don’t work Hey, slow down Just wait a minute Before you start yelling at me I gotta get out of here Gotta run
