Lyrics and translation
Original
It's gotten hard for me to stop by. But I turned in that drive.
Walked past his rusted, two-tone, beat up Chevy truck.
Nowadays, he moves real slow.
When the hell did he get so old? I said, "Hey, old man, how you holding up? "
He said, "The sun isn't shining, got nothing but time, 'cause it's Friday all day long.
Be a hell of a day to be out on a lake on a boat with the radio on. "
And we both know his best days are way behind him.
But all he had to say was, "I bet they're biting. "
He said, "I know a shady old spot.
I used to go there a lot. I can almost smell the burn oil from that Evinrude.
Right now I don't know when, but I know I'm gonna go again.
Catch a fire out of them large mouth bass like I used to. "
And the sun will be shining, got nothing but time, 'cause it's Friday all day long.
Be a hell of a day to be out on a lake on a boat with the radio on.
And we both know his best days are way behind him.
But all he had to say was, "I bet they're biting. "
Yeah, I bet they're biting.
He said, "I'm glad that you dropped by.
But if I was you, boy, I'd be out there on the water now and wetting a line. "
And the sun will be shining, got nothing but time, 'cause it's Friday all day long.
Be a hell of a day to be out on a lake on a boat with the radio on.
And we both know his best days are way behind him.
While that old man was laying there dying, all he had to say was, "I bet they're biting. "
Yeah, boy, right now I bet they're biting.
