Fishing In The Dark Lyrics

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonite,
shinin' through the trees,
Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs
are floatin on the breeze
Baby get ready.....

Across the field where the creek turns back by the ol' stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready.....OooooooOooo

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night through, feels so good to be with you...

Spring is almost over and the summer's come
and the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right, just to take you along
Baby get ready.....

And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready.....OoooooooOoo.

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night through, feels so good to be with you...

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night through, feels so good to be with you...

You and me going fishing in the dark,
Lying on our backs and countin' the stars
Where the cool grass grows.
Down by the river in the full moon light,
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow...
Stayin' the whole night through, feels so good to be with you...

Favorite Country song...puts me into a summer night, warm air, being in love and just smiling mood!!

Not too much of a country song, though undoubtedly it is...however, knowing Jackson Browne once participated playing the jugs or something like that in this rockin' California band, puts this a bit along the frindges of a distinct genre. Anyhow, one of the greatest songs EVER! "Baby, get ready..."

Pretty much the only country song i like.

This song was on a mix my boyfriend made me for valentines day. He lives 1500 miles away from me right now and he loves fishing. I didnt know the song very well but my roommate was there listening to the song yelling at me "are you listening to the lyrics!? he loves you!" haha :-D

this is a truely great song, the lyrics basically play out possably the greatest experiance for a first person is love with someone, my favorite line is "And it don't matter if we sit forever and the fish don't bite" when the tempo changes i get goosebumps when i hear that line
