fish on the wall

Luke Bryan

You re shaking like a live oak leaf, missing your first deer
Seven years old, fighting back the tears
Next thing you know, it s your senior year
Saying you can t wait till you re out of here

Wintergreen Skoal in a console cup
Cut a bunch of yards so you can jack it up
Spinning them wheels in your Chevrolet
Digging down deep in the Georgia clay

My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset
Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet
Wind blowing that cloud of dust
plow disc all worn and rusty
Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life
Back when life was a new country song
it was duck dogs and football
We didn t have much, but we had it all
Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall

Now I m watching my boys backlash a line
The muscadine don t fall far from the vine
Spinner bait hung in a cypress tree
Man, I swear they re just like me
When it was

My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset
Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet
Wind blowing that cloud of dust
plow disc all worn and rusty
Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life
Back when life was a new country song
it was duck dogs and football
We didn t have much, but we had it all
Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall

Man, it s something to see them holding up
their first ten-pounder
And if they re lucky as me, they ll catch
and thank the Lord you found her

My girl in a 12-foot boat, blue eyes and a red sunset
Heading down some way backroad, back tires still soaking wet
Wind blowing that cloud of dust
plow disc all worn and rusty
Running wide-open on empty, yeah, that was life
Back when life was a new country song
it was duck dogs and football
We didn t have much, but we had it all
Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall

We didn t have much, but we had it all
Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall
