Got up at dawn just to be out on the water The weather man said, Hot and gettin' hotter But he didn't say nothin' 'bout it raining like hell, oh well A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else Had the big one on, and man I would'a got 'em But he took my pole straight down to the bottom Leavin' me with nothin' but a big ol' story to tell, ah hell A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else We should probably go to work I mean everybody does Instead of sittin' out here in the middle of nowhere Workin' on a pretty good buzz Didn't catch a damn thing, guess you could say we took a lickin' Tonight's fish fry is gonna taste like chicken But we did just fine if I do say so myself A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else Play that guitar ♪ We should probably go to work I mean everybody does Instead of sittin' out here in the middle of nowhere Workin' on a pretty good buzz Didn't catch a damn thing, guess you could say we took a lickin' Tonight's fish fry is gonna taste like chicken But we did just fine if I do say so myself You know a bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else You know a bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else
