Lyrics

One, Two, Three
Well it's summer here in Hyden
And this heat sure ain't no joke
I'm floatin' down the river
In the dirty old john boat
Big red worms and a rooster tail and a zebco 33
Well it sure ain't no rich man's fun but it suits me to a tee
Well there ain't many places like this anymore
White tail deer and big groundhog grazin' on the shore
Can't you hear that ol coonhound a barkin' in the trees
Well I don't speak for you my friend but it sounds like home to me
Floatin' down the middle fork in the heat of July
Will you hand me a cold beer, my mouth is getting' dry
That ol summer sun is beatin' down on my ol straw hat
Can't dream of a better life for an old river rat
Well I got a stringer full of red eyes and a big blue gill or two
That big ol sun is goin down but we ain't thru
Just soon as I get service
I'll give these boys a ring
Well scotty grab your banjo it's time to pick and sing
Floatin' down the middle fork in the heat of July
Will you hand me a cold beer, my mouth is getting' dry
That ol summer sun is beatin' down on my ol straw hat
Can't dream of a better life for an old river rat
Well Allen's standin; over there just wearin' a big old grin
Smoke rollin 'round his head his singin' should be a sin
Now Jagger's crankin' on that bass
Throwin' back a good, cold beer
And Thumper's beatin' on the box
with that hair over his ear
Floatin' down the middle fork in the heat of July
Will you hand me a cold beer, my mouth is getting dry
That ol summer sun is beatin' down on my ol straw hat
Can't dream of a better life for an old river rat
No I can't dream of a better life for an ol river rat
