FISHIN' POND
(G.Thomas)  1977

Spent some time out in California
Playin' in the hot sunshine
And makin' myself nice and tan for the girls at home
There must have been so many times I had a chance to
Slip off these old travelin' shoes
But you know they're the only shoes I own

Sometimes I’m thinkin about Suzie Q.
And how we had that conversation
About settling down and startin' a family
But we were both too young for that
And I was in no condition
To find out what a broken heart could do to me

Lord knows that there's fish in the fishin'  pond
I've been lost but at least I've been around
Cast your line watch 'em jump as the sun goes down
Unc and me well we
Sure did go to town

Free floatin' on a calm lake
You can watch the clouds driftin' by
Don’t need a TV cause here you got scenery
Build a fire up the shore a ways
And fry some walleye in the moonlight
Well home is nice but it's sure not Canada

Lord knows that there's fish in the fishin'  pond
I've been lost but there's so much more I've found
Cast your line watch 'em jump as the sun goes down
Oh yeah, Unc and me well we
Sure did go to town
Here we go......

solo

Swing your partner dosey doe
Here we go 'round and around on the dance floor

(chorus)
