D   G D   G

Verse 1
The DWhole Place Looks Like A Tackle Box
DMore Rods And Reels Than A Bass Pro Shop
Night GCrawlers In The Drawer, In The Fridge, In The Kitchen
GMagnet On The Door Says, "Gone Fishing"
DEight-Pound Bass On A Driftwood Mount
DHe Hung It In The Shop, She Moved It In The House
On The GLiving Room Wall 'Cause It Takes Her Back When
GThey Took That Trip To Toledo Bend
There Was AStill A Chill In The Morning Air
ASometimes Her Mind Floats Back There

Chorus
When It's G5Am And He DAin't In Bed
He's Just ARacin' The Rain 'Fore The BmSky Breaks Red
She GDon't Smell Coffee Or DHear The Floor Creak
Must Have AKissed Her Head And Just BmLet Her Sleep
'Til She GSees That Tracker Right DWhere He Left It
ATarped Outside And She BmComes To Her Senses
It GDon't Last Long, But For DOne Sweet Minute
AHe Ain't Gone, He's Just Gone DFishing   G​

First DDate Was On A Farm Pond Catchin' Brim
DHe'd Take 'Em Off Soon As She'd Reel One In

When AShe Drifts Off, That's Where She Goes
AOnly Time She Don't Feel Alone
