[Verse 1]
Got a tackle box sitting in the truck bed floor
Dusty pair of boots by the kitchen door
Sun's peaking up, got the thermos filled high
Gonna meet the boys under a Carolina sky
We talk about the hard times, laugh at the old
Keep the engine running when the morning is cold
My brother got a spot down by the willow tree
Where the water runs quiet and the air is free
[Chorus]
We're just drinking beer and we're going fishing
Listening to the pine trees, doing some wishing
Out in the woods where the deer tracks run
Underneath the stars or the morning sun
With my family, my friends, and the people I love
Thanking the Lord for the sky up above
Yeah, this is the life that we chose to live
With everything we got and all we can give
[Verse 2]
Rifle on the shoulder, walking through the brush
When the autumn leaves fall in a quiet hush
Patience in the chill till the buck comes clear
Just a simple way of living that we hold so dear
Then we head back home to the porch light glow
Where the laughter is loud and the stories flow
Cracking cold cans on a Saturday night
With the people in my circle making everything right
[Chorus]
We're just drinking beer and we're going fishing
Listening to the pine trees, doing some wishing
Out in the woods where the deer tracks run
Underneath the stars or the morning sun
With my family, my friends, and the people I love
Thanking the Lord for the sky up above
Yeah, this is the life that we chose to live
With everything we got and all we can give
[Outro]
Yeah, keep the fire burning bright
With my friends tonight
Just drinking beer
Country life right here
[Fade Out]
