Luke Bryan - Bill Dance lyrics

This ain’t no lie Saved all my birthday money up Put it down on a rod and reel I got my green and tan Plano loaded up Permission to fish behind that old sawmill Momma said watch for snakes Daddy said shut the gate Brother said they’re biting on the zoom black and red flake Laying in the bed that night I swear I could barely sleep ‘Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance Fishing for a living Saturday morning on television A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat Taught me how to tie ‘em on Taught me how to take ‘em off Taught me how to catch ‘em when they said they couldn’t be caught Nobody ever had to worry about me ‘Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance While other boys were playing ball and knocking heads I was floating on the Muckalee While rebel kids were smoking, stealing cigarettes I was fishing in them cypress trees Paddle and a Jon Boat, 9 pound, no joke Got him in the net ‘cause I didn’t get my line broke Using every trick in the book Daddy ever taught me ‘Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance Fishing for a living Saturday morning on television A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat Taught me how to tie ‘em on Taught me how to take ‘em off Taught me how to catch ‘em when they said they couldn’t be caught Nobody ever had to worry about me ‘Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance There’s a lot of heroes out there these days But if you ask me mine, there’s only one name I’ll say Bill Dance, fishing for a living Saturday morning on television A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass From the best damn fisherman the world’s ever had Taught me how to tie ‘em on Taught me how to take ‘em off Taught me how to catch ‘em when they said they couldn’t be caught Nobody ever had to worry about me ‘Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance Bill Dance Yeah, the sun is just starting to shine up over the treetops It’s gonna be a beautiful day, it’s plain to see
