The Bait and the Wait

Verse 1

Old Jeff’s a brother through and through

Been a solid decade since he caught that view

Of the rolling tide and the salt spray line

But he keeps on ducking when it's fishing time

Chorus

He’s Coast Guard steady while I’m Army strong

Ten years is getting a bit too long

Wheelchair rolling through the gravel and sand

Come on and take a rod in your hand

Before we’re angling on that golden shore

Where we won’t need to pack the boat no more

Yeah the dead can wait but the bass won't stay

So grab the net and let's get on our way

Post-Chorus

Hey Jeff Lee

Go fishing with me

Old friend Jeff Lee

Verse 2

I’ve seen the seasons come and go

Waiting for a bite and the river’s flow

You stayed the course and you served your term

But you're acting shy of a little old worm

Chorus

He’s Coast Guard steady while I’m Army strong

Ten years is getting a bit too long

Wheelchair rolling through the gravel and sand

Come on and take a rod in your hand

Before we’re angling on that golden shore

Where we won’t need to pack the boat no more

Yeah the dead can wait but the bass won't stay

So grab the net and let's get on our way

Bridge

Maybe you’re busy

Maybe you’re tired

Maybe you’re waiting for the world to be wired

We can sit on the pier

We can sit by the lake

Just tell me what tackle you want me to take

Chorus

He’s Coast Guard steady while I’m Army strong

Ten years is getting a bit too long

Wheelchair rolling through the gravel and sand

Come on and take a rod in your hand

Before we’re angling on that golden shore

Where we won’t need to pack the boat no more

Yeah the dead can wait but the bass won't stay

So grab the net and let's get on our way

Post-Chorus

Hey Jeff Lee

Go fishing with me

Old friend Jeff Lee
