Capo 1
[Verse]
CI'm looking like a Flobster wearing flip flops and a CStetson
Guess that's why they call it Gfishing instead of catcChing 
Cause I ain't had a Fsingle bite all Cday
But I caught a buzz and ain't no Glimit to TanqueCray
CAin't quite sure how I Fwound up way down Chere
It's a long haul to ropes and Gsails from roping steersC  
Ain't gonna worry about Fthat, just gonna have some Cfun
Got a be one fish down there Gdumber than I am Cdrunk 
[Chorus]
It ain't that Ffar from Waco to Galveston
I'm what you Cget when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach Fbum
Cow chips, BS, and ships Gahoy
I'm a saltwater CcowFboy 
[Verse]
CThere's a tiki party down the Fbeach about a mile or Ctwo
Where they're singing with Jimmy and Gtoasting to Chris LeCDoux
And if it weren't for Captain FMorgan steering this sChip
I might untie that rope and back her Gon up outta thiCs 
[Bridge]
It ain't that Ffar from Waco to Galveston
I'm what you Cget when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach Fbum
Cow chips, BS, and ships Gahoy
I'm a saltwater CcowFboy 
[Bridge]
If this Cbottle goes overFboard, you'd better wish me Cluck
Cause I'm afraid of sharks but I'm Gterrified of sobering Cup 
[Chorus]
It ain't that Ffar from Waco to Galveston
I'm what you Cget when you mix a prairie dog with an old beach Fbum
Cow chips, BS, and ships Gahoy
I'm a saltwater CcowFboy
