Lyrics

Verse 1

Sunday, I?m headin? down
Gotta get a head start outta town
Passin? every big car, big house, big boat
I don?t own

A sixty hour week
Somehow ain?t enough to get me there
Workin? for the big cheese with the big cigar
Sittin? in the big chair

Pre-chorus 1

But as I hit the beach and unwind my nerves
With the line on my reel
I get lost in the rhythm of the rollin? surf
And all that big stuff disappears

Chorus

On Matagorda Bay
I ?m casting all my heavy troubles out
Riding the sand to the seven-mile cut
To that elusive trout

On Matagorda Bay
Just bein? a good ol? boy is good enough
The rising sun reminds me
The best part of life is the little stuff

Verse 2

Sundown, goin? back to town
Feelin? like I?m on the rebound
Passing every big car, big house, big boat
Don?t bother me anymore

It?s time to get home and see the little things
That mean a lot more than that to me
Little hands, little feet, little smiles
Waitin? there to wrap a big hug around me

Pre-chorus 2

Today I hit the beach and unwound my nerves
With the line on my reel
I got lost in the rhythm of the rollin? surf
And all that big stuff disappeared

Chorus
