Garth Brooks — Fish

[Verse 1] I took a short vacation to the Gulf of Mexico Everyday I’d see this fellow with his tackle box and pole And he’d fish, and he’d fish All day long [Verse 2] So one day I went out walkin' and when I got down to his spot Me and him, we got to talkin', he said have you ever thought About what you are gonna do With your life [Pre-Chorus] I said I’m about to share with you my secret to success So you can go make somethin' of yourself [Chorus] You can sell these fish you’re catchin', you can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication and the next thing you know You reinvest your money you’ll be captain of the fleet You’ll be sittin' pretty down on Easy Street [Post-Chorus] And you can do anything that you wish He says, you mean fish? [Verse 3] His simple words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes And it really got me thinkin', about the way I live my life 'Cause I just work and I work All day long [Verse 4] So I asked myself a question that I knew the answer to Is success a second mortgage on a big house with a pool Or is it a chair, the salt in the air Wettin' the line [Pre-Chorus] That advice that I tried to give him to take him to the top Was really nothin' more than just a crock [Chorus] You can sell these fish you’re catchin', you can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication and the next thing you know You reinvest your money you’ll be captain of the fleet You’ll be sittin' pretty down on Easy Street [Post-Chorus] And you can do anything that you wish He says, you mean fish? [Verse 5] So I went and bought some tackle and a bucket full of bait You can find me here most every day With my chair sitting there next to his We just fish [Outro] Yeah, we just fish Yeah fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
