Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunrise truck, boat on the hitch
Coffee in a thermos, scorchin’ my lip
Slip that Skeeter off the ramp, ease on the lake
I can read them stumps like the back of my hand
Work a frog through the reeds, feel that line go slam
I can yank a green-mouthed hog right outta that wake
[Chorus]
I can catch a largemouth bass in a muddy ol’ creek
Catch a decent-sized cat runnin’ fence row steep
Catch a buzz on Friday, catch hell on Sunday
Catch my hat in the barbed-wire gate
But I can’t catch a break, no matter what I bait
Yeah, I can’t catch a break (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Boss man barkin’ through a cracked screen door
Clock says five, he’s sayin’ “Give me some more”
Paycheck thin as a bluegill on my stringer line
Ex called twice, said the rent came due
Buddy hit the lotto, got a brand-new crew
And I’m stuck burnin’ cheap gas, fallin’ behind
[Chorus]
I can catch a largemouth bass in a muddy ol’ creek
Catch a decent-sized cat runnin’ fence row steep
Catch a buzz on Friday, catch hell on Sunday
Catch my hat in the barbed-wire gate
But I can’t catch a break, no matter what I bait
Yeah, I can’t catch a break (come on now)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m cursed, or maybe I’m late
Maybe my hook’s bent outta shape
But long as those scales flash under that sky
I’ll keep castin’ out, castin’ out
Till something finally bites
[Chorus]
I can catch a largemouth bass in a muddy ol’ creek
Catch a decent-sized cat runnin’ fence row steep
Catch a buzz on Friday, catch hell on Sunday
Catch my hat in the barbed-wire gate
But I can’t catch a break, no matter what I bait
Yeah, I can’t catch a break
Lord knows I can’t catch a break (hey!)
