From the recording Tubin’
Inspired by the natural beauty of backwoods Missouri and the thrill of the chase. Is this song the best soundtrack to a river excursion, or something more akin to a way of life?
Lyrics
I called off work on Friday, I’m goin down to the river
And all my friends will meet me there
Ice cold beer, Ice cold water
Boy we really get down there
Tubin’ fishin’ Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do but kick it
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do
Her top floats on downstream she shows it all to me
Warm sunny smiles from all her friends
Clear bright day steal my breathe away
Still hope this summer never ends
If it happens on the river it stays on the river
So come on pretty mama
Won’t you stand up and deliver
So come on pretty mama won’t you stand up and deliver
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do but kick it
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do
Tubin’ fishin’ Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do but kick it
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do
We sit around the campfire
We blow the smoke around
They say it signals beauty near
But I’m my dreams I’ve seen angels wings
So for now I’ll hold you near
If it happens on the river it stays on the river
So come on pretty thing
Won’t you stand up and deliver
So come on pretty mama won’t you stand up and deliver
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do but kick it
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do
Tubin’ fishin’ Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do but kick it
Tubin’ fishin Mississippi livin’
Backwoods of Missouri ain’t much to do
There Ain’t much to do
Yeah
There ain’t much to do…
