(Intro – spoken)
Yeah… Northern California…
Delta nights…
Burnin’ Line Guide Service…
We ain’t fishin’… we huntin’
⸻
(Verse 1)
Fog sittin’ low on the river like smoke
Sun ain’t up but the outboard broke silence in the cold
Coffee in a thermos, hands numb to the bone
But we chase that bite like it’s all we know
Burnin’ Line boys, yeah we run that route
From the cuts to the sloughs where the giants hide out
50-pound braid and a big glide bait
If you ain’t got heart, better stay on the bank
Sneaky Pete swingin’ slow through the dark
G-Ratt got teeth like a bite from a shark
Every cast feel like rollin’ them dice
But one big hit change your whole damn life
⸻
(Hook / Chorus)
Yeah we burnin’ line, tryin’ outrun time
Chasin’ down demons in that muddy tide
Got one shot when that rod tip dive
It’s a cold dark river but it makes us feel alive
Yeah we burnin’ line, hear that drag boy cry
Big fish dreams and a do-or-die night
Sneaky Pete swingin’, somethin’ don’t feel right…
Yeah the river talk back when you livin’ this life
(Tag)
Burnin’ liiiine… yeah we ridin’ that edge
One more cast, one more breath
⸻
(Verse 2)
Flacks on the cam, yeah he don’t miss a shot
Catch that moment when the water just pop
Hook set heavy, now the rod bowed down
Whole boat yellin’ when she turn around
Dino Hunters on the prowl, no sleep
We stalk that wake where the shadows creep
Big bait mafia, yeah we live that code
Go big or go home, that’s the life we chose
Wind cut sharp, tide start shiftin’
Feel that change, yeah the bite start hittin’
Heartbeat thumpin’ like a kick drum sound
When that hog striper start headshakin’ down
⸻
(Hook / Chorus)
Yeah we burnin’ line, tryin’ outrun time
Chasin’ down demons in that muddy tide
Got one shot when that rod tip dive
It’s a cold dark river but it makes us feel alive
Yeah we burnin’ line, hear that drag boy cry
Big fish dreams and a do-or-die night
Sneaky Pete swingin’, somethin’ don’t feel right…
Yeah the river talk back when you livin’ this life
(Tag)
Burnin’ liiiine… yeah we ridin’ that edge
One more cast, one more breath
⸻
(Bridge – darker / emotional)
Yeah I done seen grown men lose their cool
River break hearts, don’t play by rules
Take your pride, leave you standin’ still
Or bless your hands with a fish of a thrill
We keep comin’ back, yeah we can’t let go
There’s somethin’ in that water down below
Ain’t just fish… it’s the fight inside
That keeps us comin’ back to that delta tide
⸻
(Final Chorus – bigger energy)
Yeah we burnin’ line, yeah we livin’ fast
Every cast like it might be the last
Rod bent deep and the drag scream loud
Whole damn river got us feelin’ proud
Yeah we burnin’ line, under Cali skies
Chasin’ giants where the legend lies
Sneaky Pete swingin’, yeah you know the vibe
Northern delta raised… yeah we born to ride
(Outro Tag – fade out)
Burnin’ liiiine… don’t you blink don’t breathe…
That next cast might be the one you need…
