Five Pound Bass (Live) Robert Earl Keen

Ladies and gentlemen, the five pound bass

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

Down by the lakeside, just off the ramp
All them people sleepin' in their fishin' camps
Some in the pup tent, some out on the grass
They've all been dreamin' 'bout that five pound bass

Early birdy always gets his worm
Me, I always get my wish
When you're talkin' 'bout that five pound bass son
Thе early wormy gets the fish

Jump in my john boat, I storе my gear
I fire up and when I am in the clear
I sail across that water as smooth as glass
It's ready, here I come you five pound bass

I find a perfect 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
