[Verse 1]
When you’re caught up in the daily grind,
Most days are just a repetition of the same routine;
If you always stick to the same patterns of behavior,
Someone is bound to notice.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s not a huge problem, really,
But it’s good to do something different now and then.
[Chorus 1]
Completely clearing my mind,
Moving my body vigorously,
Following where my heart leads,
Following where the mood takes me.
[Verse 2]
I’d been eating nothing but vegetables,
Feeling a bit like a vegetarian,
So I thought I’d have some fish for a change –
And decided to go fishing.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Normally, I’d check the tide charts and head out at low or high tide.
[Chorus 2]
Completely clearing my mind,
Moving my body vigorously,
Following where my heart leads,
Following where the mood takes me.
[Verse 3]
I just attached the reel to the rod,
Threaded the line through the guides,
Tied a metal jig to the end of the shock leader,
And headed out the door.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I had only a brief window of time before the twilight darkness set in.
[Chorus 3]
Completely clearing my mind,
Moving my body vigorously,
Following where my heart leads,
Following where the mood takes me.
[Bridge]
Standing on a small rocky outcrop at the river mouth,
I cast the metal jig toward the opposite bank.
The lure got no reaction.
It seems the fish aren’t home today.
[Final Chorus]
Completely clearing my mind,
Moving my body vigorously,
Following where my heart leads,
Following where the mood takes me.
[Outro]
