Wakin up long before sunrise
Off to meet at the boat with some fun guys
I won't see my girl all damn day
Been loadin up on minnows and spinners
Hope I catch a good meal for dinner
Lord I wonder if they'll ever take that bait
I'm going fishing today
I hope I find that lake
I can't think of work when I'm casting next to them
I'm going fishing today
I hope I find that lake
I can't think of work when I'm casting next to them

(Roxanne)
I called to see if I could change your mind
Cook us some steak, buy some good wine
But the tone of your voice tells me
there's no gettin' through
So once again, here I am all alone
Can't seem to make you wanna stay home
If you've got to go, take a map with you!

You're going fishing today
I hope you find that lake
It's hard to picture you while you're casting next to them
You're going fishing today
I hope you find that lake
It's hard to picture you while you're casting next to them

(Roxanne)
You came back yesterday with your buddies,

(Jeff)
I know we both were all smelly and muddy

(Both)
If fish were caught, might make it worth our while

(Jeff)
You reminded me to change my clothes

(Roxanne)
I was on my way to start the stove
I could bake up the trout

(Jeff)
We could eat a big meal in style!

(Both)
Been sittin out here for a long time
I'm still using that same old line
I can't understand why the fish won't swim our way
I'm going fishing today
I swear I'll change my bait
I just hope we catch a big one, bring it home
We're going fishing today
I swear I'll change my bait
I just hope we catch a big one, bring it home
I just hope we catch a big one, bring it home
