Woke up at 5 am with that rooster's crow
Loaded up the truck got the tackle box in tow
Down to the river where the current runs slow
Gonna find some peace where the tall grass grows
Got my old man's rod with a few scratches and dents
Baitin' that hook like it's been years since
Casting out far let my worries go hence
With the morning mist feelin' life's pure essence
Gone fishin' just me and the breeze
Time stops hearts on an easy freeze
With the sun on the rise and the water at ease
It's the simple things I do to feel free
Saw an old oak tree where we carved our names
Memories flood back like a gentle Spring rain
Thinking 'bout the times young love untamed
Now that place is just a pause in the game
Caught a big ol' bass gave me one heck of a fight
Reeling him in with all my might
Laughing alone in the morning light
It ain't about catchin' it's about feelin' right
Gone fishin' just me and the breeze
Time stops hearts on an easy freeze
With the sun on the rise and the water at ease
It's the simple things I do to feel free
