Let her go boys Well I got up early on this Lord's day With the sun peaking through the curtains Thought I'd wet a line for a couple good hours And still make the ten o'clock sermon But the sky is blue and the breeze is cool And they're biting good, not to mention If I left right now, might make it somehow But I doubt I could pay attention I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God In the middle of His creation In an old John boat with my Zebco rod For some private conversation There might be a few people talking bad about me When they see that I'm a missin' But I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God Than in church with my mind on fishin' Well I like that preacher, and I love how it feels When he really gets to throwing down But I'd rather do my talking with the Man upstairs When there's nobody else around If I was there right now I'd be thinking 'bout Which lure I was gonna cast And he don't need another fool sitting in that pew Dreaming 'bout a ten pound bass I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God In the middle of His creation In an old John boat with my Zebco rod For some private conversation There might be a few people talking bad about me When they see that I'm a missin' But I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God Than in church with my mind on fishin' With my thoughts a driftin' I ain't even listening While it all goes right over my head I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God In the middle of His creation In an old John boat with my Zebco rod For some private conversation There might be a few people talking bad about me When they see that I'm a missin' But I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God Than in church with my mind on fishin' I'd rather be on a lake with my mind on God Than in church with my mind on fishin' With my mind on fishin'
