[Verse 1]
This whiskey sure tastes fine right now
But it ain't doin' the trick, no
Yeah, it ain't gettin' me gone enough
To make my mind forget
That one shot, two shot, three shot more
Don't change the fact she ain't in the picture anymore
This bar stool ain't workin'
But if anything can
It'll be me on a dock pushin' off of dry land

[Chorus]
I need a lake, a little bit of bait
I'd even take a creek
I'm tired of all these concrete streets
We were running down
Yeah, what I need right now
Is some roddin' and some reelin', first catch feelin'
Praying to the man for some muddy water healin'
Don't need no sad song on my radio
Burnin' up some black smoke, down a backroad
I need a boat
I need a boat

[Verse 2]
Don't care if it's a pontoon
Brand new, been used
As long as it'll fish
Just wanna cast it out yonder
Let my mind wander off to anything but this
I'm tired of runnin' into all my friends
Askin' if I'm over her lovin'
Yeah, but out there where the river lets in
Them fish don't ask me nothin'
[Chorus]
I need a lake, a little bit of bait
I'd even take a creek
I'm tired of all these concrete streets
We were running down
Yeah, what I need right now
Is some roddin' and some reelin', first catch feelin'
Praying to the man for some muddy water healin'
Don't need no sad song on my radio
Burnin' up some black smoke, down a backroad
I need a boat
I need a boat

[Bridge]
I need some peace and quiet
I don't know who the hell's gonna buy it
Yeah, but I need a boat
Uh-huh

[Chorus]
I need a lake, a little bit of bait
I'd even take a creek
I'm tired of all these concrete streets
We were running down
Yeah, what I need right now
Is some roddin' and some reelin', first catch feelin'
Praying to the man for some muddy water healin'
Don't need no sad song on my radio
Burnin' up some black smoke, down a backroad
I need a boat
I need a boat
[Outro]
I need a boat
I need a boat
Reel, reel bad
