[Verse 1]
EColorado cans on the Tennessee water,
ENothing really nibblin' on the end of that bobber
AMe and my old man's old man just talkin' it upE  
He said Bjust 'cause you drop a line
ADon't mean the fish'll bite
[Chorus]
So if it don't Erain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't cErank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good Asong, play an old one
The only good Eboat is a sold one
Work ain't always Bdone when the day's done
You can't always catch a Abreak or a big one
But you can always catch a Ecold one
[Verse 2]
EYeah, I didn't get it then, but I sure do now
EIt's kinda up to you how it all turns out
ALife ain't always pinewood docks and Eblue skies
Every Btime I reach down in the ice
I can still Ahear him from the other side
[Chorus]
Sayin' if it don't rEain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't cErank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good Asong, play an old one
The only good Eboat is a sold one
Work ain't always Bdone when the day's done
You can't always catch a Abreak or a big one
Yeah you can always catch a Ecold one
[Bridge]
ALife ain't always easy
BMan, ain't that the truth
AYou can't win 'em all
BBut even when you lose
AYeah, you can still drink a few
[Chorus]
Sayin' if it don't rEain, talk to the good Lord
If it don't cErank, it ain't from Detroit
You want a good Asong, play an old one
The only Egood boat is a sold one
Work ain't always Bdone when the day's done
You can't always catch a Abreak or a big one
Yeah you can always catch a Ecold one
Work ain't always Bdone when the day's done
You can't always catch a Abreak or a big one
Yeah you can always catch a Ecold one

[Verse 1]

Colorado cans on the Tennessee water,

Nothing really nibblin' on the end of that bobber

A E

Me and my old man's old man just talkin' it up

He said just 'cause you drop a line

Don't mean the fish'll bite

[Chorus]

So if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord

If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit

You want a good song, play an old one

The only good boat is a sold one

Work ain't always done when the day's done

You can't always catch a break or a big one

But you can always catch a cold one

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I didn't get it then, but I sure do now

It's kinda up to you how it all turns out

A E

Life ain't always pinewood docks and blue skies

Every time I reach down in the ice

I can still hear him from the other side

[Chorus]

Sayin' if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord

If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit

You want a good song, play an old one

The only good boat is a sold one

Work ain't always done when the day's done

You can't always catch a break or a big one

Yeah you can always catch a cold one

[Bridge]

Life ain't always easy

Man, ain't that the truth

You can't win 'em all

But even when you lose

Yeah, you can still drink a few

[Chorus]

Sayin' if it don't rain, talk to the good Lord

If it don't crank, it ain't from Detroit

You want a good song, play an old one

The only good boat is a sold one

Work ain't always done when the day's done

You can't always catch a break or a big one

Yeah you can always catch a cold one

Work ain't always done when the day's done

You can't always catch a break or a big one

Yeah you can always catch a cold one
