Lyrics
Drop my line into the water
Just a-waitin' for a little bite
I said, drop my line into the water
Just a-waitin' for a little bite
Wish I knew just what to do
Feels like I'm a-wastin' my time
Drop my line into the water
Just a-hopin' that you take the bait
I said, drop my line into the water
Just a-hopin' that you take the bait
Now I'm runnin' out of patience, baby
How long you gonna make me wait
[instrumental break]
Drop the sun below the mountains
I'm a-comin' to the end of my day
I said, drop the sun below the mountains
I'm a-comin to the end of my day
But suddenly you pull me under
Now I ain't got nothin' to say
Now I ain't got nothin' to say
Now I ain't got nothin' to say
