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
When I got down
to his spot
Me and him
we got to talking
I 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
that you know
You reinvest
your money
You'll be captain
of a fleet
You'll be
sitting pretty
down on easy street
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
that you know
You reinvest
your money
You'll be captain
of the fleet
You'll be
sitting pretty
down on easy street
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 everyday
With my chair
sitting there
next to his
We just fish
Yeah we just fish
Yeah fish fish
fish fish fish
