Testo I Went Fishin'

For fourteen years I had a best friend black lab
Hoggin' up the bench in a crew cab
Head hangin' on a two lane breeze
Burnin' up tires just her and me
She went everywhere I went
Till our time was through
I said my goodbye, didn't know what to do
So I went fishin'
Wet a line
Let all the time just pass me by
I drank a beer, in a boat
Really learned how to let a good one go
Watched the sky fade from red to blue
Talked to God there for an hour or two
Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'
I went fishin'

Mary wasn't my first riverside kiss I ever had
But I damn sure wanted her to be my last
Yeah love like I never dreamed
Had me thinkin' bout a diamond ring
But she had plans, that I didn't fit in By the time her plane was takin' off
I was droppin' that motor in

And I went fishin'
Wet a line
Let all the time just pass me by
I drank a beer, in a boat
Really learned how to let a good one go
Watched the sky fade from red to blue
Talked to God there for an hour or two
Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'
Yeah I went fishin'

I've been to the bar to try to forget
Drove around for miles when nothin' made sense
But when I needed to face the gone
When I needed to start movin' on

I went fishin'
Wet a line
Let all the time just pass me by
I drank a beer, in a boat
Really learned how to let a good one go
Watched the sky fade from red to blue
Talked to God there for an hour or two
Found a little healing at the end of a buzzbait hittin'

When I had to shut the whole world off, even just for a minute
I went fishin'
Yeah I went fishin'
