INTRO
E    A    E                  A
           This ain't no lie


VERSE:
 E
Saved all my birthday money up
 A
Put it down on a rod and reel
E
I got my green and tan Plano loaded up
    A
Permission to fish behind that old sawmill

 E
Momma said, "Watch for snakes"
 E
Daddy said, "Shut the gate"
 A
Brother said, "They're biting on the zoom black and red flake"

 E
Laying in the bed that night
    A
I swear I could barely sleep


CHORUS:
        A  N.C.
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
          E
Was Bill Dance
 E
Fishing for a living
 A
Saturday morning on television

   E                                    D
A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass
        A
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat

 E
Taught me how to tie 'em on
 E
Taught me how to take 'em off
 A
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught

 E                  D          A
Nobody ever had to worry about me
        A  N.C
'Cause all I ever wanted to be
          E    A
Was Bill Dance


VERSE;
  E
While other boys were playing ball and knocking heads
A
I was floating on the Muckalee
 E
While rebel kids were smoking, stealing cigarettes
A
I was fishing in them cypress trees

 E
Paddle and a Jon Boat, nine pound, no joke
 A
Got him in the net cause I didn't get my line broke
E
Using every trick in the book
 A
Daddy ever taught me


CHORUS:

Saturday morning on television

A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass

From the best damn fisherman the world's ever had

It's gonna be a beautiful day, it's plain to see
