Five Pound Bass (Live)

Ladies and gentlemen, the five pound bass

Up this mornin' before the sun

Fixed me some coffee and a honey bun

Jumped in the pickup, gave 'er the gas

I'm goin' out to catch a five pound bass

Down by the lakeside, just off the ramp

All them people sleepin' in their fishin' camps

Some in the pup tent, some out on the grass

They've all been dreamin' 'bout that five pound bass

Early birdy always gets his worm

Me, I always get my wish

When you're talkin' 'bout that five pound bass son

The early wormy gets the fish

Jump in my john boat, I store my gear

I fire up and when I am in the clear

I sail across that water as smooth as glass

It's ready, here I come you five pound bass

I find a perfect a perfect spot, some old dead trees

Back in a canyon where you can't feel no breeze

I tie my lure, I make my cast

It's breakfast time you five pound bass

That old sun is risin' that water's clear

I watch my lure as it's flyin through the air

I see a ripple (ohhhhhh)

I hear a splash

Lord have mercy, it's a five pound

Bass

Son, that's a five pound-

Oh, it looks like a, toaster

Ah, that's a five pound bass, yeah
