[Verse 1]
You're thinkin' 'bout calling in sick
Or just blowing off work
And drive right by that exit sign
Where I punched the clock from 9 to 5
I roll the window down and I flip it the bird

[Pre-Chorus]
Park my truck down at the dock
See if this cellphone can skim like a rock

[Chorus]
You can spend your whole life tryin' to make a killin'
But what's it all worth without a little livin'?
Don't wanna look back at all the things I'm missing
And wake up wishin' I spend more time fishin', yeah
More time fishin', yeah

[Verse 2]
I don't care if I don't catch a thing
As long as I catch a buzz and a tan, mmm
Just a couple chea fold up seats
I can sit up out on the bank and hold your hand
And a cold can

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of wastin' my time
On traffic jams and boss man's and chasin' a dime

[Chorus]
You can spend your whole life tryin' to make a killin'
But what's it all worth without a little livin'?
Don't wanna look back at all the things I'm missing
And wake up wishin' I spend more time fishin', yeah
More time fishin', yeah

[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
A little more spin you 'round in the kitchen
A little more Otis Redding, red wine sippin'
A little less 5AM
A little more sleepin' in
A little more take it slow backroad drive

[Chorus]
You can spend your whole life tryin' to make a killin'
(Tryin' to make a killin')
But what's it all worth without a little livin'? (Hey, yeah)
Don't wanna look back at all the things I'm missing
(All the things I'm missing)
And wake up wishin' I spend more time fishin', yeah
More time fishin', yeah

[Outro]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
More time fishin'
Mmm, mmm
