Bill Dance Lyrics by Luke Bryan

Born Here, Live Here, Die Here (Deluxe Edition)

2021

[Intro]
This ain't no lie

[Verse 1]
Saved all my birthday money up
Put it down on a rod and reel
I got my green and tan Plano loaded up
Permission to fish behind that old sawmill
Mama said, "Watch for snakes"
Daddy said, "Shut the gate"
Brother said, "They're bitin' on the zoom black and red flake"
Layin' in the bed that night
I swear I could barely sleep

[Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance
Fishin' for a livin'
Saturday mornin' on television
A Georgia boy learnin' how to hook big bass
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat
Taught me how to tie 'em on
Taught me how to take 'em off
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
Nobody ever had to worry about me
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance

[Verse 2]
While other boys were playin' ball and knockin' heads
I was floatin' on the Muckalee
While rebel kids were smokin', stealin' cigarettes
I was fishing in them cypress trees
Paddle and a Jon Boat, nine pound, no joke
Got him in the net 'cause I didn't get my line broke
Usin' every trick in the book daddy ever taught me

[Chorus]
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance
Fishin' for a livin'
Saturday mornin' on television
A Georgia boy learnin' how to hook big bass
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat
Taught me how to tie 'em on
Taught me how to take 'em off
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
Nobody ever had to worry about me
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance

[Bridge]
There's a lot of heroes out there these days
But if you ask me mine, there's only one name I'll say

[Chorus]
Bill Dance, fishin' for a livin'
Saturday mornin' on television
A Georgia boy learnin' how to hook big bass
From the best damn fisherman the world's ever had
Taught me how to tie 'em on
Taught me how to take 'em off
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
Nobody ever had to worry about me
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance
Bill Dance

[Outro]
Yeah, the sun is just startin' to shine up over the treetops
It's gonna be a beautiful day, it's plain to see
