Call my buddies and tell 'em to meet at first light
We're goin' fishin' in the morning, it just feels right
Man, that boat lookin' real nice
Can't wait to have a fight on the deck where I'm keepin' that line tight
All my buddies know I wanna go pro
They always laugh and say yeah good luck bro
It's ticking me off and I'm so sick of their scoffs
I'm catchin' fat girls daily but they keep breaking off
Once I caught a fish, it was the size of a stump
Had a brown color like an old rusty truck
No one believes me, looks are deceiving
You prolly caught a tree, why aren't you perceiving?
Tree pounder
Felt like a bass, felt like a cat, I don't like that, no
Tree pounder
I lost my bait, for goodness sakes
Hey, it's still a great day, uh
Lady on the bank screaming you look stuck
I say nah lady it's the size of a truck
She waved her hands at me and said good luck
Hey, thanks lady, it's about to come up
Bubbles at the surface, and what do I see?
A big fuckin' tree, so I dropped to my knees
I scream why god made a fool outta me
I'm never gonna make it as the next KVD
Tree pounder
Felt like a bass, felt like a cat, I don't like that, no
Tree pounder
I lost my bait, for goodness sakes
Hey, it's still a great day, uh
Logs, stumps, branches, trees
Can't catch a fish, but I'm feelin' free
Wood, bark, timber, and tears
Can't catch a fish but I sure can drink a beer
I can't catch a fish but I sure can catch a buzz
Tree pounder
Felt like a bass, felt like a cat, I don't like that, no
Tree pounder
I lost my bait, for goodness sakes
Hey, it's still a great day
