lyrics

TACKLE BOX, SAW, CHAIN & A KNIFE
Take us to that place you know,
two kids on an old dirt road...
milk-crate bungied to the back of your bike,
Tackle Box,Saw, Chain & a Knife.
Holes in the knees of our beat-up Levi's,
pickin’ bottles from the ditch on the way...
catch rock-bottom, lose another lure,
bread the minnow trap and get outta there.

If we made it into town about 4 o’clock
Gary’d be shuttin’ down the engine shop,
cash in the bottles, dig a little dirt
Mary’s not well, Ricky got hurt.
So we head on down to the local beach
with a couple of Cokes from the beer bottle money...
Talk about school, talk about home, and where we'd be when we get old
(Ohhhh, old) (Mmmhmmm)

He's married now, for the second time, I'm still thinkin’ ‘bout gettin’ what's mine...
It’s been so long, figure it's time dust off the reel, drop in a line.
Suck back a six-pack of Old Milwakees, the fish gettin’ fat from the worms on the hook...if we run out that's alright,
he always had a thing for a Red & White

An if we don't catch dinner, well at least we were able to sit for a while by the
river’s edge...time keeps flowin’ like the
water below, before you know it,
we’re gettin’ old
(Ohhhh, old) (Mmmhmmm)

(Repeat 1st verse)
