Lord Willin'

He said, "Buddy, I'm glad we're going fishing
I know times are tough, and you've been missing
Her, ever since she left town"
I said, "Man that's why you're my best friend
And you were gonna be my bests man
The pain is more than whiskey can drown"

I found the best way to cope
Wetting a line from an old John boat
And that's what keeps me from losing my mind
It's amazing all that I discovered
Since, she became my ex-lover
I'll keep it out of sight and out of my mind
Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

This here's become my favorite spot
I can't tell you all the fish I've caught
There must be something in the water
The day she left I went fishing too
They say she skipped town, but that ain't true
I brought her fishing here, just like I brought you

I found the best way to cope
Wetting a line from an old John boat
And that's what keeps me from losing my mind
It's amazing all that I discovered
Since, she became my ex-lover
The truth will surely surface, just give it time
Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

Now we been friends for a real long time
So it's easy to tell when something ain't right
And I'm sure you can read between the lines
So if you and her want to stay together
You can lie side by side forever
Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

I found the best way to cope
Wetting a line from an old John boat
And that's what keeps me from losing my mind
It's amazing all that I discovered
Since, she became my ex-lover
Drowned, drowned, drowned by the weight of lies
Lord willin' and the creek don't rise

They say still waters run deep
Beneath the surface my secret sleeps
Lord willin' and the creek don't rise
