Colorado cans on a Tennessee water
Nothin' really nibblin' on the end of that bobber
Me and my old man's old man just talkin' it up
He said "Just 'cause you drop a line
Don't mean the fish will bite"

So if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good song play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain't always done when the day's done
You can't always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one

Yeah I didn't get it then but I sure do now
It's kinda up to you how it all turns out
Life ain't always pinewood docks and blue skies
Every time I reach down in the ice
I can still hear him from the other side

Sayin' if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good song play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain't always done when the day's done
You can't always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
Yeah you can always catch a cold one

Life ain't always easy
Man ain't that the truth
You can't win 'em all
But even when you lose
Yeah we can still drink a few

If it don't rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good song play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one

Yeah if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good song play an old one
The only good boat is a sold one
Work ain't always done when the day's done
You can't always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
Yeah work ain't always done when the day's done
You can't always catch a break or a big one
But you can always catch a cold one
