He pulled up in his red Corvette
Salmon shorts and a white V-neck
I said, «Wow, you know how to dress down for a city guy»
We headed out to a spot on the lake
A couple Zebcos and a cup full of bait
I could tell pretty fast he had more than just bass on his mind
Oh, I was fishing, he was wishing, we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over, crowding up my casting shoulder
Reaching out and trying to hold my reeling hand
And saying I'm pretty
Saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said yeah it could
Boy, if you would shut up and fish
Shut up and fish
For a little while he calmed down and let up
But then he went right back to pushing his luck
And that line of mine wasn't all I wanted to throw in
Oh no
I was fishing, he was wishing, we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over, crowding up my casting shoulder
Reaching out and trying to hold my reeling hand
And saying I'm pretty
Saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said yeah it could
Boy, if you would shut up and fish
I finally had all of him that I could take
So I gave him a cold shower in the lake
What can I say?
I was fishing, he was wishing, we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over, playing Captain Casanova
Reaching out and trying to hold my reeling hand
And saying I'm pretty
Saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said yeah it could
Boy, if you would shut up and fish
Just a little push
'Cause he couldn't just shut up and fish
Shut up and fish
