Clawhammer Mike - Drop the Line Lyrics

It was a translucent night out on old Mille Lacs
An ice auger in the back of my truck
We got in at 10 PM
Going to be ready at dawn with any luck
We're gonna drill that hole like we're looking for gold
Sick of being at home and doing what we're told
You bring the bait, and I'll bring the beer
Won't think about our troubles while we're here
It's time to drop the line
We don't need no ATV
We don't need no color TV
We'll stare at that hole and keep good company
Out on that frozen tundra
We're gonna drill that hole like we're looking for gold
Sick of being at home and doing what we're told
You bring the bait, and I'll bring the beer
Won't think about our troubles while we're here
It's time to drop the line
Late at night it's like northern lights
Going up from the lake into our shack
In these moments i can swear to you
We ain't never going back
We're gonna drill that hole like we're looking for gold
Sick of being at home and doing what we're told
You bring the bait, and I'll bring the beer
Won't think about our troubles while we're here
It's time to drop the line
Have you ever played guitar with a snowsuit on
Have you ever gutted fish with a pair of gloves on
If you said no, you might want to carry on
And never come to Minnesota
We're gonna drill that hole like we're looking for gold
Sick of being at home and doing what we're told
You bring the bait, and I'll bring the beer
Won't think about our troubles while we're here
It's time to drop the line
It's time to drop the line
