Flies and fins
G D C G
I got flies in my pockets boxes full of dreams and so many places other people want me to be
Bills to pay and calls to make guess their gonna have to wait I’m busy doing nothing in the north country
Trout and salmon all around no hotels not even a town gonna lay my head where it falls tonight
Wake up on the side of a stream cast my line and tie on a dream waste another day chasing things with fins
C G D G
Flies and fins are all I have and some folks think its so sad
Could have been a politician or a scientist
One of these days I know I’m gonna die so I work just enough to survive
Spend my time chasing fish and tying flies
Travel to every coast every mountain range met so many people can’t remember the names
Some are friends and some are not it don’t matter cause I forgot where I was anyway
Thinking about the next cast slow down you move to fast sun’s going down in the sky
The mornings sun will find me somewhere in the keys rolling a bone with crazy Charlie
Flies and fins are all I have and some folks think its so sad
Could have been a politician or a scientist
One of these days I know I’m gonna die so I work just enough to survive
Spend my time chasing fish and tying flies
I fish with an ex-psychiatrist and one day he told me this the earth will spin into the sun
He says if that day comes it won’t matter what anyone done pack your bags we’re going to the margaree
All my friends are a little weird that’s what happens after so many years chasing fins and tying flies
I’ve been this way ever since I was a kid wake up early chase those fins go to bed at night do it all again
Flies and fins are all I have and some folks think its so sad
Could have been a politician or a scientist
One of these days I know I’m gonna die so I work just enough to survive
Spend my time chasing fish and tying flies
