Striper Fever!

[Verse 1]
Sun’s just a bruise on the water
Thermos of coffee
Cold in the truck
Boots hit the dock like a hammer
Everybody knows that’s Chuck
Grizzle on the hull
Grin crooked (yeah)
Old ball cap pulled down low
Says
“I ain’t here for small talk
Boys
I came to watch this river explode”
[Chorus]
He’s got that striper fever
Burnin’ under his skin
Heart like a hooked-up motor
Roarin’ wide open again
He’ll chase that silver lightning
‘Til the sky turns black and mean
Striper fever
Rippin’ through his bloodstream
[Verse 2]
Knuckles cut raw on the reel handle
Line sings high in the wind
Cooler full of two-day bad decisions
And he’s ready to make more again (oh yeah)
Clouds roll in like a barroom brawl
Thunder sounds just like a crowd
When that drag starts screamin’ bloody
Chuck Grizzle just laughs out loud
[Chorus]
He’s got that striper fever
Burnin’ under his skin
Heart like a hooked-up motor
Roarin’ wide open again
He’ll chase that silver lightning
‘Til the sky turns black and mean
Striper fever
Rippin’ through his bloodstream
[Bridge]
White wake
Wild eyes
One cast from goin’ insane
One strike
One fight
He’s baptized in the spray (hey!)
If this is how he goes out
Let it drag him to the deep
With striper fever
Carved into the creek
[Chorus]
He’s got that striper fever
Burnin’ under his skin
Heart like a hooked-up motor
Roarin’ wide open again
He’ll chase that silver lightning
‘Til the sky turns black and mean
Striper fever
Yeah
It’s all he’ll ever need

rock, Aggressive hard rock / metal riffing, downtuned guitars in a driving gallop, double-kick drums locking to a throbbing bassline. Male vocals bark and sneer in the verses, opening into a gang-shouted, fist-pumping chorus. Occasional pick scrapes and divebombs underline key lyrics; bridge drops to a half-time stomp before a final explosive chorus., metal, hard rock
