Robert Earl Keen The Five Pound Bass Lyrics

Up this mornin', before the sun
Fixed me some coffee and a honey bun
Jumped in my pickup, gave her the gas
I'm goin' out to catch a five pound bass!

Down by the lake side, just off the ramp
All them people sleeping in a fising camp
Some out in the pup tents, some out on the grass
They all been dreaming 'bout that five pound bass!

The early birdie always gets his worm
Me, I always get my wish
When you're talking 'bout that five pound bass, son
The early wormie gets the fish!

Jump in my johnboat, I store my gear
I fire 'er up, and, when I'm in the clear
I sail across that water, smooth as glass
it's ready, here I come, you five pound bass!

I find a perfect spot: some old, dead trees
Back in a canyon, where you can't feel no breeze
I tie my lure, I make my cast
It's breakfast time, you five pound bass!

That old sun is risin', that water's clear
I watch my lure as it's flyin' 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 g______ed baby
Eee-oy!
