lyrics

What I'm gonna do, it's for my sanity' sake
I'm gonna sit down in a row boat on a little blue lake
I'm gonna pack me some lunch and a six-pack of beer
I'll be in meditation just as long as I'm there
I'm in the Buddha blue light, I'm gone fishin'

I turned out the lights and I closed up the store
I made a sign and now it's hung on the door
Go and read it, it's right to the point
No use knockin' cuz I ain't in the joint
I'm in the Buddha blue light, I'm gone fishin'

There's no political barb wire
No hearing voices get shrill
No social media candy
To fatten me up for the kill

I won't debate with my old aunt Inez
She's always quoting what the weatherman says
I do not care if it thunders and rains
Inez would come with me if she had any brains, but she don't
That's alright, I'm gone fishin'
Oh yeah, I'm gone fishin'

I'll read a book and I'll take in some sun
Maybe write some lyrics to what hummingbirds hum
I'll catch some fish I could throw in a sack
But I don't bother cuz I toss 'em all back
I'm in the Buddha blue light, I'm gone fishin'

Here, there ain't no winners or losers
There ain't no victory or loss
And I'm free to grab me a fresh beer
Without signing a form for the boss

I'll look for restaurants on my way back to home
It's not cuz I am worn out from me being alone
Got no fish on me, you can come take a look
It's just that Inez, she never learned how to cook
But that's all right with me, I'm gone fishin'
Oh yeah, we should all go fishin'
