Lyrics

I'm Finished Fishin'

I've been lookin' for an honest man all over this honky tonk town
And you know I do the best that I can, but they always seem to let me down
Well, my mama always told me "There's so very many fish in the sea"
But I can see in my mind what I'm hoping to find
And he don't look like no fish to me

Ch) I'm finished fishin', I don't want a bite
Don't need no big-mouthed, steel-headed, cold-blooded sole
To leave me floundering at night
I'm finished fishin', it ain't what I need
Just a lovin'-hungry, land-locked, prairie prince
Who's grade-A guaranteed

So I went out with my friend Joanne, down to Lucky's for a look around
?cuz when it comes to matters of romance, she's always got both feet on the ground
I said, "Sister, what's your secret. Take a seat, have a drink, do tell."
She said, "Don't sit and wait for them to take the bait,
?Cuz most men don't read the signs to well."

Ch)

So I sat staring at that dance floor for what must have been most of the night
When my eyes fell upon some Levi's wrapped around one mister right
I said, "Hey Mister, whatcha drinkin?" with my swamp alligator grin
He said, "That's awful sweet. I take my whiskey neat."
Now excuse me while I reel him in.

Ch)
