Fish Lyrics - Garth Brooks

I took a short vacation 

To the Gulf of Mexico 

Everyday I'd see this fellow 

With his tackle box and pole 

And he'd fish 

And he'd fish 

All day long 

So one day I went out walking 

And when I got down to his spot 

Me and him got to talking 

And said have you ever thought 

About what you are going to do with your life 

I said I'm about to share with you 

My secret to success 

So you can go make something of yourself

You can sell these fish you're catching 

You can buy yourself a boat 

Hard work and dedication 

And the next thing you know 

You reinvest your money 

You'll be captain of the fleet 

You'll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street 

And you can do anything that you wish 

He says, you mean fish? 

His simple words of wisdom 

Hit me right between the eyes 

And it really got me thinking 

About the way I live my life 

Cause I just work 

And I work 

All day long 

Photos 

So I asked myself a question 

That I knew the answer to 

Is success a second mortgage 

On a big house with a pool 

Or is it a chair 

The salt in the air 

Wetting the line 

That advice that I tried to give him 

To take him to the top 

Was really nothing more than just a crock 

You can sell these fish you're catching 

You can buy yourself a boat 

Hard work and dedication 

And the next thing you know 

You reinvest your money 

You'll be captain of the fleet 

You'll be sitting pretty down on Easy Street 

And you can do anything that you wish 

He says, you mean fish? 

So I went and bought some tackle 

And a bucket full of bait 

You can find me here most days 

With my chair sitting there next to his 

We just fish 

Yeah, we just fish 

Yeah fish, fish, fish, fish, fish
