Story Behind The Song

Well, one day I was looking for a good hook. You know, just that one good line that makes a song memorable. Just One Good Line.

Song Description

HIT!

Lyrics

1
When a guy ties a hook on the end of a line
And throws it in the water, man, he?s looking to find himself a big one
And he?s willing to take his own sweet time
?Cause the fisherman knows he?s got a good enough line to get the job done
And when the big one hits, he?s gonna haul
That fish out of the water and hang it on the wall
Look at that, son!

[CHORUS]

One good line, sometimes that?s all it takes
To get yourself one of a kind
Just one good line.

2
Well, a thoroughbred?s a horse with a good bloodline
She might circle the course in record time if she?s a good one
You could go to the window, lay down a dime
Or take all your money and lay it on the line, you might win some
And you?ll be smelling the roses and sipping the wine
Before the nag puts her nose across the finish line
Look at her run!

[CHORUS]
[BREAK for 1 verse]

One good line, sometimes that?s all it takes
To change your luck some of the time

[BRIDGE]
And when you see those blue lights flashin?
And that trooper comin? up behind
You better tell your tale with passion
Maybe you won?t have to pay that fine

3
Well, a song is a line with a hook on the end
When the singer throws it out, he might reel you in, if he?s a good one
When the salesman calls on the telephone line
And it?s just two payments, $19.99, you really need one
And it really doesn?t matter if it?s all just bull
He?s going to the bank with a wheelbarrow full
Soon as he?s done
[CHORUS]
