[Intro]
Greenleaf water
Still like glass
Tie that trailer
Then I mash
[Verse 1]
Sun up, boat ramp, backed in crooked
Gas-station coffee, but the line still lookin'
Old heads talk, say the bite been slow
I just laugh, tie a jig, then go
Pitch by the timber
Let it fall, then shake
Count hits in my head
Five, four—then rage
Rod tip jump like the lake got teeth
Set steel in his jaw, drag scream, no peace
Mud on my kicks
Graph glow faint
Live by a rule
This ain't safe
[Chorus]
Live and die by the swim jig on Greenleaf
Either load up the livewell or leave
If it ain't got skirt and a blade in the weeds
Then it ain't my style, it ain't me
Live and die by the swim jig on Greenleaf
Let it slide through the grass, then bleed
If I go out here, lay me down in the reeds
With a jig tied tight to my sleeve (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Cold front hit, see the fog on the cove
Everyone spinnin' out, tryna slow-roll hope
I stay locked on the lane, same cast, same line
Let the head turn sideways, then lean, then grind
Green pumpkin back, little flash on the side
Whole life packed in a Plano box, I ride
Got scars on my thumb from the mouths I thumbed
Got prayers in my chest from the days got skunked
But I keep that faith
In a half-ounce faith
Every flip, every skip
Could change my day
If I never make home
Know this much true
That jig on my deck
Put me closer to you
[Chorus]
Live and die by the swim jig on Greenleaf
Either load up the livewell or leave
If it ain't got skirt and a blade in the weeds
Then it ain't my style, it ain't me
Live and die by the swim jig on Greenleaf
Let it slide through the grass, then bleed
If I go out here, lay me down in the reeds
With a jig tied tight to my sleeve (live and die)
