[Verse 1]
Fish ain't biting, but I don't really care, in no hurry
Like that Wabash River there I'd be drinking
Or laying dead somewhere if it wasn't for the Wabash River

[Chorus]
If it wasn't for the Wabash River and this willow tree and my pole and a line
I'd be going crazy as an Indiana cyclone
Drowning memories of her and crying, crying, crying
If it wasn't for the Wabash River I'd be going out off my mind

[Verse 2]
It's so peaceful sitting here beneath my tree, Lord, I need her
Like she often needed me, life ain't worth it
Just as far as I can see if it wasn't for the Wabash River

[Chorus]
If it wasn't for the Wabash River and this willow tree and my pole and a line
I'd be going crazy as an Indiana cyclone
Drowning memories of her and crying, crying, crying
If it wasn't for the Wabash River I'd be going out off my mind

[Rambler]
Look out, mmm, man alive
Fifty-five miles an hour they want us to go on this Interstate
And you go fifty-five and you get run over by a truck, so what do you do?
