GONE FISHIN'
GONE FISHING
I’M A WORKAHOLIC WHAT YOU CALL IT OVERACHIEVING WANNA BE. I’M ADDICTED TO GOD AND HIS GOLDEN ROD SO I GET DOWN ON MY KNEE. I SWING A HAMMER UNTIL I DROP. I PLOW THE FIELD, BRING IN THAT CROP.
AND...
I BEEN WORKING DAY AND NIGHT, WITH A BETTER LIFE IN SIGHT. I’M TIRED OF A HOPING AND A WISHING, AND THE SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYS, “GONE FISHING”.
I DO THE WORK OF FIVE MEN, I GUESS IT’S JUST IN MY MAKE UP. I’M THE ONE THEY CALL WHEN THEY HAVE SOME SLACK THEY NEED TO TAKE UP. EARLY TO RISE AND EARLY TO BED, WHOEVER SAID THAT I THINK HE’S DEAD. AND LIKE I SAID...
I BEEN WORKING DAY AND NIGHT, WITH A BETTER LIFE IN SIGHT. I’M TIRED OF A HOPING AND A WISHING, AND THE SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYS,” GONE FISHING”.
I’VE BEEN WORKING ON MY PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY LUCK. IT WOULD BE EASIER IN SNOWSHOES, RUNNING IN THE MUCK. SO, IF YOU’RE HEADING UPSTREAM WITHOUT A PADDLE, I WISH YOU WELL. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ADVICE THERE’S NOTHING I COULD TELL.
BECAUSE...
I’VE BEEN WORKNG DAY AND NIGHT, WITH A BETTER LIFE IN SIGHT. I’M TIRED OF A HOPJNG AND A WISHING, AND THE SIGN ON THE DOOR SAYS,” GONE FISHING”.
