Floatin' - Uncle Kracker

Put in this morning at first light Had a biscuit on my way down I was sittin' there waitin' on the first bite From a rainbow or a brown Anchor down at the bridge, gonna try a new midge There was traffic flyin' by Taillights glowin' red 30 feet overhead But it felt like a thousand miles I'm just floatin' this creek and takin' it slow Tryin' to catch somethin' big, sip somethin' cold I'd be a liar if I said I had a plan today 'Cept watch these banks roll by, take it all in Don't get too deep, don't forget where I been Nothin' but time to see where it takes me Floatin' this creek That rush hour traffic kinda slowed down 'Bout the time that the fish did too Just me and this ol' green boat now Nothin' but nothin' to do So I broke out a cold one, called my buddies, told 'em Slipped up and caught a state record That's a little white lie, he was good eatin' size But I like my story better I'm just floatin' this creek and takin' it slow Tryin' to catch somethin' big, sip somethin' cold I'd be a liar if I said I had a plan today 'Cept watch these banks roll by, take it all in Don't get too deep, don't forget where I been Nothin' but time to see where it takes me Yeah, I'm just floatin' this creek Put my boat back on the trailer, eased out on the blacktop Kinda sucks but I gotta make a dollar I'm feeling pretty good so I won't bitch 'Cause in the morning when I'm diggin' that ditch I'll be floatin' this creek and takin' it slow Tryin' to catch somethin' big, sip somethin' cold I'd be a liar if I said I had a plan today 'Cept watch these banks roll by, take it all in Don't get too deep, don't forget where I been Nothin' but time to see where it takes me Floatin' this creek Floatin' this creek

She is my rock and my rolling thunder I've been the spell she was under I, I love that girl She is my cigarettes and champagne She's got me strung but I'm not running I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait She is the flame and the fire she's raging I've been the spark and the war she's waging I, I love that girl She came along and she spoke so sweetly Changed everything, took my heart completely I, I love that girl I, I love that girl She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait And the city buzz and empty cars It's 3 a.m. I wonder where you are And the crooked smiles and worn out miles between us Now I wonder where you are She is the days I can't get over She is the nights that I call home endlessly For you I'll always wait Caught in the waves of hesitation Lost in the sea of my own doubt endlessly For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait For you I'll always wait

Well, I remember standing on the corner at midnight Trying to get my courage up There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown I loved to watch her do her stuff Through the long lonely nights, she filled my sleep Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers I used to watch 'em through the glass Well, I'd stand outside at closing time Just to watch her walk on past Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet As she made her way alone down that empty street Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet, ooh And sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat I drift back in time and I find my feet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet Down on Mainstreet
