Well I was feeling down cause I was broke again I took a look around to figure where I've been I read some magazines, I watch some interviews And then my old bartender says "Son, What you got to do" Is go fishing where the fish are Just go fishing where the fish are Why do you drop your pole Into an empty hole Just go fishing where the fish are You may be looking for money, you may be looking for fame But you're trying to get uptown on a downtown train Now you've got the experience, and you've got all the facts But you don't seem to notice that you're on the wrong track Is go fishing where the fish are Just go fishing where the fish are Why do you drop your pole Into an empty hole Just go fishing where the fish are Fishing where the fish are Fishing where the fish are Fishing where the fish are Fishing where the fish are Oh, oh, Fishing where the fish are You've been running and racing, you've been tearing around And you don't stop to notice if your feets on the ground You've watching the sky studyin' every cloud But what you really want is lying right on the ground Just go fishing where the fish are Just go fishing where the fish are Why do you drop your pole Into an empty hole Just go fishing where the fish are
