[Verse 1]
He's packin' his tackle, he’s hittin' the road,
With that ol’ lucky hat, and his bait and pole.
Said he'll catch me a big one, “Wait right here.”
But it's hard to smile when he disappears.
[Chorus]
He’s gone fishin’, and I’m home alone,
Cryin' in the kitchen with my heart cold as stone.
Reelin' in the tears, wishin' he'd come back,
But he’s chasin’ some bass down his favorite track.
[Verse 2]
The house is so quiet, you can hear it moan,
The creak in the floor says "he's gone, he's gone."
I’d trade every trout and every bite he finds,
For him sittin' here just wastin' my time.
[Chorus]
He’s gone fishin’, and I’m home alone,
Cryin' in the kitchen with my heart cold as stone.
Reelin' in the tears, wishin' he'd come back,
But he’s chasin’ some bass down his favorite track.
[Bridge]
The river's his church, the water’s his prayer,
While I pour out my own in the empty air.
I don't hate the fish—lord knows that I’ve tried,
But they keep on takin’ my man off my side.
[Chorus]
He’s gone fishin’, and I’m home alone,
Cryin' in the kitchen with my heart cold as stone.
Reelin' in the tears, wishin' he'd come back,
But he’s chasin’ some bass down his favorite track.
