[Verse 1]
Got a four-wheel drive
And a red dirt road
Tailgate down
And the cooler close
Moon on the water
Muddy and slow
Me and my old man
Watching bobbers go
[Verse 2]
Might be bream tonight
Might be one big cat
Maybe just a story
But I love it like that
Cicadas in the trees
And the night feels home
Cold drink sweating
On a worn out foam
[Pre-Chorus]
And the farther I drift
The more I let go
Just me, the creek
And the firefly glow
[Chorus]
Cooler by the creek
That’s my kind of peace
Cooler by the creek
Let the whole world ease
Line in the dark
Heart running free
Cooler by the creek
That’s enough for me
(Cooler by the creek)
[Verse 3]
Hookset quick
And the pole bends hard
Dad lets out a laugh
From the other yard
We trade old lies
And the same old songs
Till the moon leans west
And the night rolls on
[Pre-Chorus]
If the workday’s heavy
I leave it behind
Beneath that ripple
I can clear my mind
[Chorus]
Cooler by the creek
That’s my kind of peace
Cooler by the creek
Let the whole world ease
Line in the dark
Heart running free
Cooler by the creek
That’s enough for me
(Cooler by the creek)
[Bridge]
When the morning comes
And the mist hangs low
I’ll pack that line
And hate to go
But I’ll come back soon
When the back woods call
With a cooler full of cold
And not much else at all
[Chorus]
Cooler by the creek
That’s my kind of peace
Cooler by the creek
Let the whole world ease
Line in the dark
Heart running free
Cooler by the creek
That’s enough for me
(Cooler by the creek)
