Tuff Sea Bass

歌詞

[Intro] Salt on the rail, boots on deck Low tide growl, what you expect? [Verse 1] Crate rope biting through my glove White cap rolling like it’s got something to prove Old blue cooler, cracked red latch Bass in the water, let’s see who snatches that I don’t need a silver spoon Give me a bent hook and a stubborn moon Captain says, “Easy,” I say, “Watch this pull” One hard kick and the whole line shook [Chorus] Tuff sea bass, salt in my blood Pull that line till the reel gives up Tuff sea bass, hear that hull slap One more cast, then we bring it back [Verse 2] Sun on the console, spray on my sleeve You got the net? Good, don’t make me wait, please Tail hit twice, nearly cleared the rail Everybody leaned when the drag started to wail Small boat, big talk, no polished shine Five old knots and a lucky red line You hold the bucket, I’ll handle the fight We’ll eat what we catch before the harbor lights [Chorus] Tuff sea bass, salt in my blood Pull that line till the reel gives up Tuff sea bass, hear that hull slap One more cast, then we bring it back [Bridge] Keep your hands clear, let the fish run Breathe one time, then the work gets done Cold blue water, hard black wake Drag sings loud when the deckboards shake [Final Chorus] Tuff sea bass, salt in my blood Pull that line till the reel gives up Tuff sea bass, hear that hull slap One more cast, then we bring it back Tuff sea bass, no fear, no fuss Clean that catch, save a plate for us Tuff sea bass, tide rolling fast Salt on the tongue and a story that lasts [Outro] Rope coiled, cooler packed Last wave rising at the stern, then we’re back
