Lite another cigarette, turn the radio up
Pour a little Jack Danials in your coffee cup
Pull that cap down over your eyes, park your ass there in the sand
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
My brother taught me a lesson at that old fishing hole
When I didn’t see any fish twitching on his pole
I was pulling ‘em in right and left, throwing them in the can
He looked at me and grinned and said you just don’t understand
He said sometimes life is hard but you do the best you can
Putting food on the table and trying to be a man
You raise the kids the best you can until they’re finally grown
Then one day they take off and they leave you all alone
Lite another cigarette, turn the radio up
Pour a little Jack Danials in your coffee cup
Pull that cap down over your eyes, park your ass there in the sand
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
So when that point comes in life, what are you gonna do
Keep right on working, or maybe try something new
Just have a cold beer, or take your wife out to the show
Or just listen to Ernie Harwell on that Tiger radio
Sometimes you gotta stop wondering what life is all about
You gotta let things go and just let it all hang out
When life gets complicated and needs another look
Try going fishing with no bait on the hook
Lite another cigarette, turn the radio up
Pour a little Jack Danials in your coffee cup
Pull that cap down over your eyes, park your ass there in the sand
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
He said the secrets if life can’t be found in a book
But they’re easy to find if you just know where to look
Go out to the lake and sit down in the sand
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
Lite another cigarette, turn the radio up
Pour a little Jack Danials in your coffee cup
Pull that cap down over your eyes, park your ass there in the sand
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
And next time you go fishing leave them worms in the can
