[Verse 1]
Captain Austin at the dock
Morning on the Pensicola Gulf
Charter Salty Adventures II
Bait box full and rods in a row
Blue water breathing out there
Tight lines running through my hands
You wore that easy courtesy
Like the sea knew your name
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Watch the drop
Feel that pull"
Knowledge in your grin
And calm in the hull
[Chorus]
Twisting Reels, take us out
Big fish calling all around
Twisting Reels, hold us steady
Salt and pride in every pound
Captain Austin, lead the way
Twisting Reels, we came to stay
(big fish)
(tight lines)
[Verse 2]
We tracked the birds and the current
Read the color in the blue
One hard bend, then the rod tip danced
And the whole boat came alive
You laughed like you'd seen it all
Still gave that same respect
Every hand aboard felt lucky
On that strip of glassy water
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Watch the drop
Feel that pull"
Knowledge in your grin
And calm in the hull
[Chorus]
Twisting Reels, take us out
Big fish calling all around
Twisting Reels, hold us steady
Salt and pride in every pound
Captain Austin, lead the way
Twisting Reels, we came to stay
(big fish)
(tight lines)
[Bridge]
When the day rolled open wide
And the sun got low and gold
You pointed past the wake line
Like you knew where legends go
[Final Chorus]
Twisting Reels, take us out
Big fish calling all around
Twisting Reels, hold us steady
Salt and pride in every pound
Captain Austin, lead the way
Twisting Reels, we came to stay
(blue water)
