I've been chasing fish and game
Since I was just a lad
Way down in Alabam'
Just following my dad
He taught me how to live
To love Jesus and the land
To skin a buck or skin a cat
And be an outdoors man
Yeah from an early age
I've been, roaming these woods
I fished that little creek
Behind our, old neighborhoods
I went out early, came in late
Just in time for Mama's dinner
Well I guess you might say
I fell, hook line and singer
Yeah, I fell hook line and singer
Now that I'm all grown
I've traveled near, and traveled far
I've seen a whole lot of this world
By bus, airplane and car
But there's no place I'd rather be
Than with a gun or fishing rod
When I'm not on the road
Singing praises to my God
Yeah from an early age
I've been, roaming these woods
I fished that little creek
Behind our, old neighborhoods
I went out early, came in late
Just in time for Mama's dinner
Well I guess you might say
I fell, hook line and singer
Yeah, I fell hook line and singer
Now if I could choose, I'd live to be
An old singing fisher man
I'd hunt and fish and roam these woods
Just as long as I can
And I know one day when I'm long gone
The one thing they'll all say
Yeah from an early age
I was, roaming these woods
I fished that little creek
Behind our, old neighborhoods
I went out early, came in late
Just in time for Mama's dinner
Well I guess you might say
I fell, hook line and singer
Yeah, I fell hook line and singer
Hook line and singer
There's no doubt about it
Oh, there's no doubt I fell
Hook line and singer
Hook line and singer
Hook line and singer
Oh, hook line and singer
I fell hook line and singer
