Intro
Verse 1
The Whole Place Looks Like A Tackle Box
More Rods And Reels Than A Bass Pro Shop
Night Crawlers In The Drawer, In The Fridge, In The Kitchen
Magnet On The Door Says, "Gone Fishing"
Eight-Pound Bass On A Driftwood Mount
He Hung It In The Shop, She Moved It In The House
On The Living Room Wall 'Cause It Takes Her Back When
They Took That Trip To Toledo Bend
There Was Still A Chill In The Morning Air
Sometimes Her Mind Floats Back There
Chorus
When It's 5Am And He Ain't In Bed
He's Just Racin' The Rain 'Fore The Sky Breaks Red
She Don't Smell Coffee Or Hear The Floor Creak
Must Have Kissed Her Head And Just Let Her Sleep
'Til She Sees That Tracker Right Where He Left It
Tarped Outside And She Comes To Her Senses
It Don't Last Long, But For One Sweet Minute
He Ain't Gone, He's Just Gone Fishing
Verse 2
First Date Was On A Farm Pond Catchin' Brim
He'd Take 'Em Off Soon As She'd Reel One In
He Knew Right Then It Wasn't Catch And Release
They Went Together Like Hushpuppies And Hot Grease
When She Drifts Off, That's Where She Goes
Only Time She Don't Feel Alone
Chorus
Is When It's 5Am And He Ain't In Bed
He's Just Racin' The Rain 'Fore The Sky Breaks Red
She Don't Smell Coffee Or Hear The Floor Creak
Must Have Kissed Her Head And Just Let Her Sleep
'Til She Sees That Tracker Right Where He Left It
Tarped Outside And She Comes To Her Senses
It Don't Last Long, But For One Sweet Minute
He Ain't Gone, He's Just Gone Fishing
Interlude
Bridge
Well, She Knows She'll See Him Again Like It Says In That Good Book
If Heaven's Got A Lake Or A River Bend, She'll Know Right Where To Look
Chorus
When It's 5Am And He Ain't In Bed
He'll Be Wetting The Line With His Dad Again
Or Backing A Boat Down A Ramp Of Gold
Taking Some St. Jude Angels To A Honey Hole
So, When She Sees That Tracker Right Where He Left It
She Smiles 'Cause She Knows Somewhere In Heaven
He's Got One On And Lovin' Every Minute
He Ain't Gone, He's Just Gone Fishing
