She was young and full of promise
In the eyes of all she knew
At the tender age of twenty
She had many things to do
Her heart was full of laughter
Her eyes a blaze with joy
She hoped one day to marry
A loving country boy
She could have done most any thing
On an educators list
Been a doctor or a lawyer
Or a physiologist
She could have been a senator
Or scaled Mt. Everest
But her heart had only one desire
She felt compelled to fish
She's fish up in the mountains
She'd fish down at the lake
She looked for streams and rivers
On every road she'd take
She fished for bass or crappie
She could handle any rod
Some people thought it wonderful
Some people thought it odd
It dosen't really matter though
She's thirty now and free
She has a child and husband
And you can watch them on T. V.
Every Friday morning
You will see them side by side
Fishing lakes and rivers
When you turn to channel five
