Gone Fishing Lyrics by Mackenzie Carpenter

Hey Country Queen

2025

[Verse 1]
\nHe'd been on the lake more times this month then all last year combined
\nI didn't think much of it 'til he stayed out there all night
\nSo I drove out to Percy Priest
\nFound him kissing some blonde in his back seat
\nHad an epiphany, told myself that I
\nHad to teach that good old boy a lesson when the sun got settin'
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHe's gone fishing out in the dark
\nWasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
\nHad to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
\nUsed a whole damn gallon of Clorox
\nHe's gone fishing, I'm at the bar
\nPerfect alibi, drinking PBR
\nNobody even knows he's missing
\nBet hе's wishing
\nHe'd never gonе fishing
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI'll give it a couple days and then I'll call the cops
\nSay that I ain't seen him since he walked out with his Zebco rod
\nTry to cry a tear or two when I'm interviewed on the local news
\nJoin the search crew, beg 'em not to call it off
\nDo everything a heart broke wife would do
\nExcept tell the truth
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHe's gone fishing out in the dark
\nWasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
\nHad to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
\nUsed a whole damn gallon of Clorox
\nHe's gone fishing, I'm at the bar
\nPerfect alibi, drinking PBR
\nNobody even knows he's missing
\nBet he's wishing
\nHe'd never gone fishing
\n
\n[Interlude]
\nI bet you do, baby
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nMmm, mmm, it's a real small town
\nI'm sure I'll see that blonde around
\nI wouldn't be surprised if out of the blue
\nTurns out she's gone fishing too
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nHe's gone fishing out in the dark
\nWasn't hard to fit him in the trunk of my car
\nHad to scrub down the dock and his tackle box
\nUsed a whole damn gallon of Clorox
\nHe's gone fishing, I'm at the bar
\nPerfect alibi, drinking PBR
\nNobody even knows he's missing
\nBet he's wishing
\nHe'd never gone fishing
\n
\n[Outro]
\nI bet he's wishing
\nWishing he'd never gone fishing
\nI bet he's wishing
\nWishing he'd never gone fishing
\nWishing he'd never gone fishing
\nHmm-mmm\n\n
