She had that southern drawl, real me in smile
I fell farther than a country mile
That heartbreak woman put a hurt on me
Never got to give her that diamond ring
I skipped that rock and watched it sink
I'd rather be out in the middle of a big lake
Sippin' on six on a flint rock bank
Catchin' them catfish all day
Far away from the missin' and the bitchin'
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishin'
I got ten-pound testin' and old John Bolt
Ain't tellin' nobody about my honey hole
This whole damn world's done lost its mind
Got Clint turned up, talkin', killin' time
Bobbin' my head like a bomber on a line
I'd rather be out in the middle of a big lake
Sippin' on six on a flint rock bank
Catchin' them catfish all day
Far away from the missin' and the bitchin'
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishin'

Hey, they got crickets and crawlers out here
Hey, they're growin' big in the water around here
Hey, ain't got no heartache down here
It's just me, my dog, and an ice-cold beer
If anybody asks, I've disappeared
Out in the middle of a big lake
Out in the middle of a big lake



Sippin' on six on a flint rock bank
Catchin' them catfish all day
Far away from the missin' and the bitchin'
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishin'
Out in the middle of a big lake
Sippin' on six on a flint rock bank
Catchin' them catfish all day
Far away from the missin' and the bitchin'
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishin'
Far away from the missin' and the bitchin'
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishing Yeah, I'm better off fishing
Honestly, baby, I'm better off fishing
