He says, "Fishing helps to pass the time,
And I spend most of mine,
And even when the fish ain't biting,
It's been time well spent."
Fishing's good you know,
It sets your mind at ease,
And doing what you please
Is the only way to go.
All I ever need
Is a weight on the line and a hook on the lead,
And a kind word softly spoken
To the bait down below.
{:Chorus:}
Oh, I love to watch the sun come up.
Nothing like a sunny day,
To get you thinking in a natural way.
Oh, I love to feel the free spirit fly.
When I hear the children sing,
I think I love it more than anything.
Never travelled much.
Never felt the need to get
Too far out of tough
With the life that I lead.
Just a fine view, a fast stream,
A little fresh air is still a city boy's dream,
And it's clear sailing, if you know what I mean.
