Fishin'

He called me, on the phone, Asked if I was gonna' be home. A smile just appeared, Soon he'll arrive, here. Now a full blown grin ... He just walked in! I said, "ALRIGHT!" ... "We're gonna' have a GREAT night!" The whole night lay before us I didn’t want to cause a fuss Dinner and a movie Would be kinda groovy Dancing would be nice We’ve done that once or twice I know what he’d been missin’ So I’m taking him fishin’ Packed up the ice chest With stuff he loves best Thick slices of ham Sweet strawberry jam Crispy pickles in a jar Cookies cut into a star Ice cold Bud Lite Gonna be a long night Got a new rod and reel Got a really good deal It’s a Diawa brand Fits just right in my hand We’ll stop by his place To get his tackle case His rod and bass boat Hope it will still float Now we're at the lake Gonna fish ‘til real late Then throw that sleeping bag down Right over there on the ground Snuggle up and build a fire Stoke it with love’s desire He know’s what I’m missin’ Making love after fishin’
