I was fishing last Friday on a lake in Mississippi in the humid summer heat
on a boat with my best friend Cletus who was sleeping in the back seat
well the bites were slow and we were running low on chips and Gatorade
it'd been a long hard day
felt a tug on the line and I didn't pay attention it was spinning way to fast
before I knew it I was staring at a ten pound shiny bass
when I tried to pull the fish inside I pulled a muscle in my upper thigh
I was so scared I threw my rod up in the air
Cletus take the reel
take it from my hand
cause I can't do it on my own
I'm letting go and I need your help bad
and if you don't my fish is gone
oh Cletus take the reel
oh I'm letting go
and I need your help bad
and if you don't my fish is gone
on this boat I'm on
Cletus take the reel
oh take it take it from me
