[Intro]
Sun up, boots on
Same lake, new dawn
Got bills, got weight
But I still cast, still wait (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Granddad’s tackle box, rust on the lid
Taught me how to tie knots when I was a kid
Said, “Life’s gonna hit, you just keep your grip
If the line start burnin’, don’t you let that slip”
Clock in, clock out, hands smell like oil
Back hurts, brain fried from the grind and the toil
But I drive past home, hit the gravel by the pines
Chase a little peace on this water with my line (yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m just fishin’ for a good day
Hookin’ little moments, tryna make ‘em stay
Life so heavy, tryin’ not to break
So I breathe, let the waves take the weight away
If I land one, that’s alright
If I don’t, still a good night
‘Cause I’m fishin’ for a good day
Not just tryna survive, but feel alive on the way (hey)
[Verse 2]
Got a cooler full of cans, only two real cold
Playlist on shuffle, same stories retold
Laughin’ ’bout the times when the rent came due
And I paid in coins, still we made it through
Phone in the truck, let the world keep spin
Right now it’s just me and this old clear wind
Sun hit the ripples like loose change shine
Kinda like my pockets but I’m rich in time (yeah yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m just fishin’ for a good day
Hookin’ little moments, tryna make ‘em stay
Life so heavy, tryin’ not to break
So I breathe, let the waves take the weight away
If I land one, that’s alright
If I don’t, still a good night
‘Cause I’m fishin’ for a good day
Not just tryna survive, but feel alive on the way
[Bridge]
Some days I’m draggin’ that net through mud
Prayin’ this hustle turn sweat to love
But then that bobber dips, heart jumps quick
Tiny little tug make the whole week flip
It’s the bad jokes, camp smoke, sky turnin’ pink
First cold sip while the rod tip sink
Can’t buy this, can’t plan this vibe
Tiny little joys keep a big hope alive (alive)
[Chorus]
I’m just fishin’ for a good day
Hookin’ little moments, tryna make ‘em stay
Life so heavy, tryin’ not to break
So I breathe, let the waves take the weight away
If I land one, that’s alright
If I don’t, still a good night
‘Cause I’m fishin’ for a good day
Workin’ hard to survive, but I still smile on the way (on the way, yeah)
