Prompt / Lyrics
It’s hard out here for a fisherman Back road miles, still wishin’ it’d hit again It’s hard out here for a fisherman Sherman Island stripers hidin’ like rent again It’s hard out here for a fisherman Gas light on, sun sinkin’ in It’s hard out here for a fisherman From Stockton roads to the Delta wind ⸻ Verse 1 It’s hard out here for a fisherman Mud on the boots, hands smell like minnows, man Early morn’, frost on the windshield glass Coffee cold, still mashin’ gas OBS Chevy hummin’ low and slow Rod in the back, cooler got hope Delta fog hangin’ thick like smoke Every cast feel like one last rope Hit Sherman Island, wind talk loud Stripers ghost me, ain’t nowhere ‘round Tide ain’t right, birds don’t dive Still stand there like somethin’ might ⸻ Hook It’s hard out here for a fisherman Back road miles, still wishin’ it’d hit again It’s hard out here for a fisherman Sherman Island stripers hidin’ like rent again ⸻ Verse 2 Drove from Stockton just to stand still Burnt that tank on a stubborn will Old timers say, “Son, be patient” Patience broke, but I’m still waitin’ Line in the water, thoughts in my head Bills due soon, fish play dead Sun go down, sky turn red Delta got me by a thread Hands cracked up, knuckles sore Still one more cast, then one more Ain’t about luck, ain’t about fame Just a man, a rod, and the quiet pain ⸻ Bridge (spoken / drawl) They don’t see the miles They don’t smell the gas They just see the picture When you finally land that bass ⸻ Final Hook (half-sung, chant) It’s hard out here for a fisherman Country soul with a stubborn grin It’s hard out here for a fisherman Ain’t caught nothin’… but I ain’t done yet
