Big Fish Songtext
von Philip Bowen

"Bout got the boot on Monday
Cause the boss caught me looking at boats
Daydreamin′ I'd take her, past longacre
Cut the Evinrude and let her float

I′ll be trolling trout waters on Sunday
Won't even find the dog at the house
We'll be playin′ Lyle Lovett tell the boss he can shove it
Johnny Paycheck I′m the captain now

Yeah, the worst day on the water
Beats the best day on the job
It's too nice for a desk
Got a Jon boat instead
Big fish don′t wanna get caught (2x)


Seen old Tom snoozin in a Sundance
While the redeye are staying awake
He don't mind awful much, cause he brought his own lunch
And he stashed a little Skippy for the bait

Yeah, the worst day on the water
Beats the best day on the job
It′s too nice for a desk
Got a jon boat instead
Big fish don't wanna get caught

Yeah, the worst day on the water
Beats the best day on the job
It′s too nice for a desk
Got a jon boat instead
Big fish don't wanna get caught

Throw my worries away
Float the river all day
Big fish don't wanna get caught


What a shame it don′t pay
To cast your burdens away
This fish don′t wanna get caught
