[Verse 1] Sun's just crackin' over the pines This coffee's still hot in the cup on the dash Throw the rods in the back of that old Dodge truck Wave to the neighbors as I'm rollin' past She's still sleepin' in that flannel of mine Left a note on the fridge that said, "Don't wait up" Ain't no big secret, ain't no big surprise Just another sunrise where the water's callin' my name [Chorus] I'm gone fishin' Where the world gets quiet and the worries get thin Line in the water, heart on a string Nothin' but the hum of that little outboard singin' Don't try to find me, don't leave a message I'll be back when the sun goes missin' Till then, baby, I'm gone fishin' [Verse 2] Got my lucky hat and a cooler of ice Half a pack of red man and a few cold Coors Lights That old dog's ridin' shotgun, ears in the wind He knows the way better than I ever did Cast out past the lilly pads where the big ones hide Watch the bobber dance like it's tellin' a joke Ain't no clock out here, ain't no hurry at all Just me and the lake and the stories we wrote [Chorus] I'm gone fishin' Where the world gets quiet and the worries get thin Line in the water, heart on a string Nothin' but the hum of that little outboard singin' Don't try to find me, don't leave a message I'll be back when the sun goes missin' Till then, baby, I'm gone fishin' [Bridge] Guess some men chase fortune, some men chase fame I chase that tug at the end of a line And if heaven's a place with a dock and a boat I already found it most every Saturday [Chorus] I'm gone fishin' Where the world gets quiet and the worries get thin Line in the water, heart on a string Nothin' but the hum of that little outboard singin' Don't try to find me, don't leave a message I'll be back when the sun goes missin' Till then, baby, I'm gone fishin' [Outro] Yeah, gone fishin' Just a man in a lake and a whole lot of nothing I'm gone fishin'
