Got up at dawn just to be out on the water
Weather man said hot and gettin' hotter
But he didn't say nothin' bout it rainin' like hell (Oh well)
A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else

Had a big one on and man I woulda got 'im
But he took my pole straight down to the bottom
Leavin' me with nothin', but a big ol' story to tell (Aw 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

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
That's right.
