I woke up today
strapped my shoes on tight
it's gonna be a long day
I won't be home till tonight
I'm going out to the lake
to see what I can bring in
if anybody needs me
tell them I've gone fishin'

it seems like yesterday
was lost but now I'm found
I've got a great job that pays
to spread God's joy around
many have been led astray
I'll tell them what they've been missin'
Jesus is the only way
That's why I've gone fishin'

I've gone fishin'
