Wake up honey let me talk to you 

I had a dream last night that just can't come true 

About a man and a woman stuck right in the middle of heaven and you know where 

I hate to say they looked a lot like us 

When I saw 'em fight and I heard 'em fuss 

And I woke up with a premonition 

We just best beware 



The devil goes fishin' in trouble water 

He'll come callin' if we don't bother 

To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be 

There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder 

But she won't stay there if it gets much colder 

We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter 

Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water 



There are times we cross the line and let selfishness and foolish pride 

Leave us weak and make a big ol' target out of you and me 

But sweet forgiveness can fix it all 

And add another rock to that mighty wall 

That keeps the harsh winds out and helps to calm that mean ol' ranging sea 



The devil goes fishin' in trouble water 

He'll come callin' if we don't bother 

To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be 

There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder 

But she won't stay there if it gets much colder 

We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter 

Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water 



So let's put up a posted sign 

That says no fishin' in your heart and mine 

Trespassers best beware 

'Cause there's a big ol' love in there 



The devil goes fishin' in trouble water 

He'll come callin' if we don't bother 

To make things right and love the way it's supposed to be 

There's an angel sittin' on our right shoulder 

But she won't stay there if it gets much colder 

We better watch out or it'll get a lot hotter 

Cause the devil goes fishin' in troubled water
