Bet They're Biting

[Verse 1]

It's gotten hard for me to stop by

But I turned in that drive

Walked past his rusty, two-tone, beat-up Chevy truck

And nowadays, he moves real slow

When the hell'd he get so old?

I said, "Hey, old man, how you holdin' up?"

[Chorus]

He said, "The sun is a-shining, got nothing but time

'Cause it's Friday all day long

Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

On a boat with the radio on"

And we both know his best days are way behind him

But all he had to say was "I bet they're biting"

[Verse 2]

He said, "I know a shady old spot

I used to go there a lot

I can almost smell the burnt oil from that Evinrude

Right now, I don't know whеn

But I know I'm gonna go again

Catch the fire out of them largеmouth bass like I used to"

[Chorus]

And the sun'll be shining, got nothing but time

'Cause it's Friday all day long

Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

On a boat with the radio on

And we both know his best days are way behind him

And all he had to say was "I bet they're biting"

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, I bet they're biting

[Bridge]

He said, "I'm glad that you dropped by

But if I was you, boy, I'd be

Out there on the water now, wettin' a line"

[Chorus]

And the sun'll be shining, got nothing but time

'Cause it's Friday all day long

Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

On a boat with the radio on

And we both know his best days are way behind him

While that old man was layin' there, dyin'

All he had to say was "I bet they're biting"

[Outro]

Yeah, boy, right now, I bet they're biting
