The Five Pound Bass Lyrics

The song The Five Pound Bass is performed by Robert Earl Keen in the album named The Party Never Ends in the year 2003 .

Up this morning, 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 ba*s

Down by the lake side just off the ramp
All them people sleeping in their fishing camp
Some out in the pup tents, some out on the gra*s
They all be dreaming 'bout that five pound ba*s

The early birdie always gets his worm
Me, I always get my wish
When you're talking 'bout that five pound ba*s son
The 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 gla*s
Says, "Ready here I come you five pound ba*s"

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 ba*s

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 ba*s

That's a five pound ba*s son
It's big as a god damned baby
