Lyrics

They say you can't run away from the problems in your life
But there's a little secret I've learned along the way
Just follow the tracks, cut on over the hill and take a left turn through the trees
That's where you'll find me sitting perfectly still with a fishing pole between my knees

It's a place I can go with the sun on my face sitting with my back to a tree
Like I'm miles away from the everyday world and there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Other folk don't realize all that they're missing this is where I find my peace of mind
I'm just spending some time with my fishing line and leaving all my troubles behind

When my truck starts making that noise again and my in-laws are coming to town
When the grass is getting higher and the garden is full of weeds
When everything I know feels like it's out of control, always one more bill than I can pay
I know a place where I can let it all go and let all my problems wash away

My wife has been suspicious, thinks I have myself a mistress, I don't know how I'm gonna explain
When the going gets tough it's just my mission put the sign on the door that says, gone fishin'
