The Five Pound Bass
By Robert Earl Keen Jr.
>From the West Textures CD
 
EUp this morning
 
Before the sun
BmFixed me some coffee and a honey bun
EJumped in my pickup
Agave her the gas
E Bm EI'm goin' out to catch a five pound bass
 
Down by the lake side
Just off the ramp
All them people sleeping in their fising camp
Some out in the pup tents
Some out on the grass
They all be dreaming 'bout that five pound bass
 
Bridge:
AThe early birdie always gets his worm
EMe I always get my wish
AWhen you're talking 'bout that five pound bass son
E BmThe early wormy gets the fish
 
Jumped in my john boat
I stow my gear
I fire her up and when I am in the clear
I sail across that water
As smooth as glass
Ready here I come you five pound bass
 
 
Guitar.....
 
 
I find a perfect spot
Some old dead trees
Back in a canyon where you cain't feel no breeze
I tie my lure
I make my cast
It's breakfast time you five pound bass
 
That old sun is rising
That water is clear
I watch my lure as it's flying through the air
I see a ripple......
I hear a splash.....
Lord have mercy, It's a five pound bass..
 
Spoken:
That's a five pound bass son...
Aw it's big as a god damned baby...
