Fish

I took a short vacation

To the gulf of Mexico

And 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

When I got down to his spot

Me and him we got to talking

I 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 that you know

You reinvest your money

You'll be captain of a fleet

You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street

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 that you know

You reinvest your money

You'll be captain of the fleet

You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street

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 everyday

With my chair sitting there next to his

We just fish

Yeah we just fish

Yeah fish fish fish fish fish
