Lyrics:
I’m lost in her there holdin’ that pink rod and reel
She’s doin’ almost everything but sittin’ still
Talkin’ ’bout her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
I say, “Daddy loves you, baby” one more time
She says, “I know. I think I’ve got a bite”
And all this laughin’, cryin, smilin’ dyin’ here inside’s
Is what I call, livin’
And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ’bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
She’s already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
‘Cause time is tickin’
(Yeah it is)
And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ’bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
She ain’t even thinkin’ ’bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
Yeah, aw, she thinks we’re just fishin’
We ain’t only fishin’
(This ain’t about fishin’)

God Bless You my friend for the wonderful content you are putting for us. Never stop dreaming and doing what you love. Greetings from Albania.
Seems like the 7-Step Song Planner DL link is not working anymore…
Trace Adkins I love for you to write a song for me I am poor but this one's about Jesus
Great points thanks for the tips!
CLICK BAIT !!!! BY SAYING FROM THE ARTIST YOU ARE IMPLYING THEY ARE THEIR WITH YOU.UNSUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!!
Show the guitar when playing.
Great info but you're about 6 years too late. Country music unfortunately is not written like that anymore (thanks to FGL and Luke Bryan) . These are all great tips but ones I was taught 10 years ago when I moved here to Nashville, sadly much of it no longer applies in the Country world
I enjoy your tips!
Love this channel, but sad to say that Country music is my least favourite genre.
Would love to see some underrated songwriters such as ABBA and ELO featured.
Appreciate what you're doing Martin – I always learn something!
Thank you, Mr. Sutton.
Pick better artists and songs. More mainstream, more current, more urban. Love your channel tho!
