I’ll Probably Be Out Fishin’ lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had me a high school sweetheart
With big time wedding plans
Then I signed up with the Navy
Went to work for Uncle Sam
Eighteen lonely months I've waited
To see her again
When I got home to Gainsville
She married my best friend

[Chorus]
What's a guy to say?
What's a guy to do?
I can paint this whole town red tonight
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me
If it comes around again
But I'll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in

[Verse 2]
Took a job down at the saw mill
Where I worked hard everyday
Climb that corporate ladder
I was promoted with a big ol' raise
The very next morning they told me
That old saw mill had been sold
Someone's gonna take your position boy
They wrote me off and sent me home
[Chorus]
What's a guy to say?
What's a guy to do?
I can paint this whole town red tonight
And still wake up with the blues
Good luck is bound to find me
If it comes around again
But I'll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in
I'll probably be out fishing
When my ship comes in
