Mark Miller - Fish lyrics

I took a short vacation To the Gulf of Mexico Everyday I'd see this fellow With his tackle box and pole And he'd fish And he'd fish All day long So one day I went out walking And when I got down to his spot Me and him got to talking And said have you ever thought About what you are going to do with your life I said I'm about to share with you My secret to success So you can go make something of yourself You can sell these fish you're catching You can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication And the next thing you know You reinvest your money You'll be captain of the fleet You'll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street And you can do anything that you wish He says, you mean fish? His simple words of wisdom Hit me right between the eyes And it really got me thinking About the way I live my life Cause I just work And I work All day long So I asked myself a question That I knew the answer to Is success a second mortgage On a big house with a pool Or is it a chair The salt in the air Wetting the line That advice that I tried to give him To take him to the top Was really nothing more than just a crock You can sell these fish you're catching You can buy yourself a boat Hard work and dedication And the next thing you know You reinvest your money You'll be captain of the fleet You'll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street And you can do anything that you wish He says, you mean fish? So I went and bought some tackle And a bucket full of bait You can find me here most days With my chair sitting there next to his We just fish Yeah, we just fish Yeah fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
