If there ever was a morning when the fish might bite it would be right now Any other time we'd have done had our lines cast out Sipping on a jug of momma's sweet iced tea catchin' them old cat Why couldn't today be like that' I wish this was a riverbank Instead of a graveyard I wish we were sittin' and fishin' And this wouldn't be so hard It was my favorite thing that we used to do But now we can't I wish you were here I wish this was a riverbank Remember the day when I baited my hook with a chunk of ham I got a big bite and he yanked the pole right out of my hands You jumped up and you grabbed the net and we both jumped in We got wet but we got him I wish this was a riverbank Instead of a graveyard I wish we were sittin' and fishin' And this wouldn't be so hard It was my favorite thing that we used to do But now we can't I wish you were here I wish this was a riverbank I know you wouldn't want me just sittin' around and bein' sad You taught me better than that So I'm leaving now gonna head on out and try to catch a few And while I'm there I'll cast a line for you I wish this was a riverbank Instead of a graveyard I wish we were sittin' and fishin' And this wouldn't be so damn hard It was my favorite thing that we used to do But now we can't I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish you were here I wish this was a river bank
