lyrics

Could I tell you 'bout the night I got up and went out fishin'?
With my soul divided as if from using long division
The moonlight on the lake was calm and still
My mind emptied out like a bag

Could I tell you 'bout the night I got up & went out fishin'?
With my dog beside me, two soldiers on a mission
He did not bark or yelp, he did not chase his tail
He was calm & quiet as the water

A fisherman's a man who knows the price of silence
He knows the price of salmon when it's in season
A fisherman's a man who knows the name of Jesus
He knows the name of a good mechanic if you need one

Could I tell you 'bout the night I got up & went out fishin'?
With my soul divided as if from using long division
I did not bark or yelp, I did not chase my tail
I was calm & quiet as a buddha
