Got up at dawn just to be out on the water
Weather man said hot and getting hotter
But he didnt say nothing 'bout it raining like hell, oh well
A bad day of fishin beats a good day of anything else

Had a big one on and man I woulda got him
But he took my pole straight down to the bottom
Leaving me with nothing, but a big ole story to tell, oh well
A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else

We should proudly go to work, I mean everybody does
Instead of sitting out here in the middle of nowhere 
Working on a pretty good buzz

Didn't catch a damn thing, guess you could say we took a licking
Tonights fish fry is gonna taste like chicken
But we did just fine, if I do say so myself
A bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else

You know a bad day of fishin' beats a good day of anything else
