I took a short vacation to the Gulf of Mexico
and everyday I'd see this fellow with his tackle box and pole
G
and he'd fish
and he'd fish
D
all day long
D
So one day I went out walking and when I got down to his spot
Me and him we got to talking
I said have you ever thought
G D
About what you are gonna do with your life?
A D
I said I'm about to share with you my secret to success
G A
So you can go make something of yourself
Chorus:
G
You can sell these fish you're catching
You can buy yourself a boat
D
Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know
G
If you reinvest your money you'll be captain of the fleet
A
You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street
G7 G
You can do anything that you wish
D
He said you mean fish?
D
His simple words of wisdom hit me right between the eyes
And it really got me thinking about the way I live my life
G
Cause I'd just work
And I'd work
D
All day long
D
So I asked myself a question that I knew The answer to
Is success a second mortgage on a big house with a pool?
G
Or is it a chair
and salty air
D
wetting the line
A D
That advice I tried to give him to take him to the top
G A
Is really nothing more than just a crock
G
You can sell these fish you're catching
You can buy yourself a boat
D
Hard work and dedication and the next thing that you know
G
If you reinvest your money you'll be captain of the fleet
A
You'll be sitting pretty down on easy street
G7 G
You can do anything that you wish
D
He said you mean fish?
Bridge:
A G
So I went and bought some tackle and a bucket full of bait
A G
You can find here most everyday with my chair sitting there next to him
D
And we'd just fish
Yeah, we'd just fish
