[Intro]
[low vocal register]Last cast, y’all
We ain’t leavin’ till they blow[/low vocal register]
[Verse 1]
Truck tires mud-deep down a red dirt track
Thermos in the holder, rod in the back
Green hills sweatin’ in the morning haze
Leeches on my ankles, I’m still unfazed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cane toads croakin’ like a broken choir
Steam off the river, air on fire
I flick that lure where the shadows stack
Heart in my throat when the ripples crack
[Chorus]
Surface blowups on a glass calm creek
Bass hittin’ hard, make the gum trees shake
Whitewater wings when they break that skin
Whole crowd yellin’ when I boat that fin
Oh, we live for the splash, that sudden crash
Rainforest thunder when the big ones smash
Yeah, raise that rod, hear the river speak
Surface blowups on a glass calm creek
[Verse 2]
Sweat on my brim, mozzies round my ears
Old mate laughin’, “Boy, you’re hooked for years”
Kingfisher dives like a silver dart
Then a swirl by the snag nearly stops my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Guide yells, “Wait, let it sit, let it sit!”
Then twitch that bait with a tiny hit
From the roots below comes a cannon shot
Line screams tight and the world goes hot
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[crowd singalong]Hey, hey, let the bass come up
Stomp that bank, let’s stir it up
From the paperbarks to the river bend
We’ll chase that crash till the daylight ends[/crowd singalong]
[Chorus]
