Ninety Nine on the Riverbank

Verse 1

Got my Chevy

Loaded up

Ice chest in the back

Fishing poles rattling near the window

I got ninety nine problems

But a fish ain't one

The sun is high

The water is low

See the blue lights

Behind me

Wondering what I did

Pull over

Slowly

He said son

Do you know why I stopped you

I said no

Is my tailgate down

Is my brake light out

Am I driving too fast for this gravel road

Chorus

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

But a fish ain't one

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

I'm gonna have some fun

Post-Chorus

Yeah just some fun

Having some fun

Little bit of fun

Verse 2

The law man

He looked inside

Asked me for my license

Checking the glove box for my papers

I told him

I'm just heading

Down to the muddy bank

I got a cooler

Full of soda

Maybe a sandwich

Left from lunch

He said you look suspicious

I said I'm just a country boy

Looking for a honey hole

Trying to catch a big one

Ninety nine problems

But a fish ain't one

No sir

Not today

Chorus

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

But a fish ain't one

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

I'm gonna have some fun

Post-Chorus

Yeah just some fun

Having some fun

Little bit of fun

Bridge

The clock is ticking

The water is calling

The bass are jumping

I can feel the breeze

I can feel the heat

I can feel the peace

Let me go

Let me drive

Let me live

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

Ninety nine problems

But a fish ain't one

Down by the river

Down by the river

Down by the river

I'm gonna have some fun

Outro

Ninety nine

Ninety nine

Just a fish ain't one

Heading to the water

I'm gone

Yeah I'm gone

Goodbye

Ninety nine

Ninety nine

Not one
