Song Description

A fun look at a guy who just wants to go fishin', but it's a work day and his wife would kill him if he went.

Lyrics

I woke up this morning
With a voice in my head said
"The fish are jumpin'
why are you in bed?"

I said "I can't go fishin,
I gotta work and
If my wife found out
we'd both get hurt"

"C'mon it said,
your boss is a louse
Just tell your wife
who wears the pants in this house."

I tried to resist
I tried to refrain
That's when that voice
Got up and sang

Today is a Fishin' Day
Don't matter what your
Boss or wife might say
Today is fishin' day

Well I snuck out the back door
With my pole and my gear
Hooked up the boat
And the coast was clear

I almost forgot, how could I forget
My lucky fishin' hat, went back for my hat,
Got in my truck, my wife saw me leavin'
Just my luck

I tried to resist
I tried to refrain
That's when that voice
Got up and sang

Today is a Fishin' Day
Don't matter what your
Boss or wife might say
Today is fishin' day

The fish we're bitin'
It was hotter than hell
The beer was cold
And the boat ran well
My boss and my wife
Can kiss my tail

Today is a Fishin' Day
Don't matter what your
Boss or wife might say
Today is fishin' day

I drove home slowly
For fear I would find
The road covered
in land mines

Stopped and got flowers
Cigar for my boss
Pulled in the driveway
All was lost

There they stood
Clear as a bell
With looks on their faces
I knew so well

They tried to resist
They tried to refrain
Then in chorus
They both sang

Today was not a fishin' day
You don't have a job
Or place ot stay
Today was not a fishin' day

I tried to resist
I tried to refrain
Then I drove away
And sang

Tonight is a fishin' night
Don't care about my boss or my wife
Tonight is a fishin' night
