Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman
Well I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night, that's right
I was born to run a trot line, born to fish all night
Yeah I'm gonna get a buzz even if I don't get a bite
Yeah I was born in a John boat, with a cane pole in my hand

Yeah my daddy was a river rat, I was born a fisherman
