[Verse 1] Got my tackle box packed, but I play it all loose Old hat pulled low, like I might take a snooze They think I’m just daydreams, coffee and jokes But I’ve mapped every drop-off, every stump, every poke Slow drawl, big yawn, “guess I’ll cast in a sec” But I’m countin’ every ripple, every swirl on the deck They brag on their lures, talk loud, talk tough I just nod, tie knots, think “y’all said enough” (uh-huh) [Chorus] I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies They don’t even see it comin’ yet Actin’ like I’m just here for the sunrise Wait till I start snappin’ that net (hey!) Cooler stay closed, I ain’t showin’ my hand Smile when they ask what I’ve had I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies And they still think I’m doin’ real bad (so bad) [Verse 2] Banjo in my head, little hook on repeat Boot heel tappin’ out a pattern on the seat Every cast quiet, I just feather that line Let it drift past logs where the big ones dine They chattin’ ’bout work, about scores, about shows I’m watchin’ that tip, every twitch, every groan When I lean, when I reel, that rod start to bow I whisper, “one more” while they still don’t know (shh) [Chorus] I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies They don’t even see it comin’ yet Actin’ like I’m just here for the campfire Wait till I start soakin’ that net (oh yeah) Cooler stay closed, I ain’t showin’ my hand Smile when they ask what I’ve had I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies And they still think I’m doin’ real bad [Bridge] Fiddle sings sweet while the sky turns gold Piano in my mind like a plan unfold They count their bites, I count my lies “Not a tap all mornin’,” with a grin in my eyes (haha) [Chorus] I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies They don’t even see it comin’ yet Actin’ like I’m just here for the stories Wait till I start liftin’ that net (lift it up) Cooler swing open, all jaws drop low “Where you catch those?” “Man, I don’t know…” I’m ’bout to out-fish all my buddies Been winnin’ while I played it slow (played it slow)
