[Verse 1]
He pulled up in his red Corvette
Salmon shorts and a white V-neck
I said "wow, you know how
To dress down for a city guy"
[Verse 2]
We headed out to a spot on the lake
Couple zip poles and a cup full of bait
I could tell pretty fast
He had more than just bass on his mind
[Chorus]
Oh, I was fishing, he was wishing we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over
Crowding up my casting shoulder
Reaching out to try to hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty, saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said, yeah it could
Boy, if you would
Shut up and fish
Shut up and fish
[Verse 3]
For a little while he calmed down and let up
But when he went right back to pushing his luck
And that line of mine wasn't all I wanted to throw in
Oh no
[Chorus]
Oh, I was fishing, he was wishing we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over
Crowding up my casting shoulder
Reaching out to try to hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty, saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said, yeah it could
Boy, if you would
Shut up and fish
Shut up and fish
[Bridge]
I finally had all of him that I could take
So I gave him a cold shower in the lake
What can I say?
[Chorus]
I was fishing, he was wishing we were kissing
I was getting madder than a hornet in an old Coke can
Getting closer, sliding over
[?] cast him over
Reaching out to try to hold my reeling hand
Saying I'm pretty, saying he's in love
And how it don't get any better than this
I said, yeah it could
Boy, if you would
Shut up and fish
[Tag]
Just a little push
'Cause he couldn't just
Shut up and fish
Shut up and fish
