Fish

I took a short vacation

To the Gulf of Mexico

Everyday I’d see this fellow

With his tackle box and pole

And he’d fish

And he’d fish

All day long

So one day I went out walking

And when I got down to his spot

Me and him got to talking

And said have you ever thought

About what you are going to do with your life

I said I’m about to share with you

My secret to success

So you can go make something of yourself

You can sell these fish you’re catching

You can buy yourself a boat

Hard work and dedication

And the next thing you know

You reinvest your money

You’ll be captain of the fleet

You’ll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street

And you can do anything that you wish

He says, you mean fish?

His simple words of wisdom

Hit me right between the eyes

And it really got me thinking

About the way I live my life

Cause I just work

And I work

All day long

So I asked myself a question

That I knew the answer to

Is success a second mortgage

On a big house with a pool

Or is it a chair

The salt in the air

Wetting the line

That advice that I tried to give him

To take him to the top

Was really nothing more than just a crock

You can sell these fish you’re catching

You can buy yourself a boat

Hard work and dedication

And the next thing you know

You reinvest your money

You’ll be captain of the fleet

You’ll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street

And you can do anything that you wish

He says, you mean fish?

So I went and bought some tackle

And a bucket full of bait

You can find me here most days

With my chair sitting there next to his

We just fish

Yeah, we just fish

Yeah fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
