Verse
Catfish and color TVs, kindly company
Saltwater dreams and nicotine keep me living right
Shadows are growing longer now and they?re bringing on the night
But it keeps my brain from thinking about the things that passed me by
It?s seventy-five degrees out on the water
And its 3? to 5? with a steady southern breeze
But I sure could use a storm or two to help these wounds to heal
Get back on the right side of the reel
Verse
Scraping off the paraffin, climbing up my stringer
That five-foot ten taught me when to chase them or to run
Now, the crickets sing the Chorus of the way things used to be
Back when the reds were biting and you were still right here with me
But it?s seventy-five degrees out on the water
And its 3? to 5? with a steady southern breeze
And I sure could use a storm or two to help these wounds to heal
Get back on the right side of the reel
Solo
Bridge
Coming with the leaving, bringing on the feeling
That the current and the winds may be too strong
Every time you go something deep inside me knows it won?t be long
'Cause it?s seventy-five degrees out on the water
And its 3? to 5? with a steady southern breeze
And I sure could use a storm or two to help these wounds to heal
Get back on the right side of the reel
Gotta get back on the right side
