This ain't no lie
這可不是什麼大話

我把生日的錢都存了起來
Saved all my birthday money up
傾盡所有買來了魚竿和魚線
Put it down on a rod and reel
裝好了我褐綠色的普拉諾釣具盒
I got my green and tan Plano loaded up
徵得了在舊鋸木廠後頭釣魚的允許
Permission to fish behind that old sawmill
媽媽說小心點蛇
Momma said, 'Watch for snakes'
爸爸說記得把門關好
Daddy said, 'Shut the gate'
哥哥說用Zoom的紅黑餌料更好上鉤
Brother said, 'They're biting on the zoom black and red flake'
那晚我躺在床上
Laying in the bed that night
講真我幾乎完全沒睡
I swear I could barely sleep
因為那時候我只想成為比爾丹斯（Bill Dance, 戶外釣魚節目Bill Dance Outdoors主持人）

羨慕他能靠釣魚謀生
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance
禮拜六早晨準時出現在電視上
Fishing for a living
佐治亞的男孩正學著怎麼釣一條大鱸魚
Saturday morning on television
就是看他戴一頂田納西的帽子釣起來一條大口黑鱸
A Georgia boy learning how to hook big bass
他教會了我怎麼捆釣線
From a large mouth legend in a Tennessee hat
教會了我把魚取下來
Taught me how to tie 'em on
也教會了我在它們想逃跑的時候抓住它們
Taught me how to take 'em off
從來沒有人需要擔心我什麼
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
因為我只是想成為比爾丹斯而已
Nobody ever had to worry about me
別的孩子都在玩球打架
'Cause all I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance
只有我一個人泛舟坐在馬可利溪

叛逆的孩子偷偷學壞偷來爸爸的煙
While other boys were playing ball and knocking heads
那時我正在柏樹叢中獨自垂釣
I was floating on the Muckalee
劃著槳坐著喬恩船釣起來九磅重我可不是在開玩笑
While rebel kids were smoking, stealing cigarettes
我用網把它裝起來因為我的魚線沒有斷
I was fishing in them cypress trees
用的是爸爸教給我的一招一式
Paddle and a Jon Boat, nine pound, no joke
因為那時候我只想成為比爾丹斯
Got him in the net cause I didn'tget my line broke
羨慕他能靠釣魚謀生
Using every trick in the book Daddy ever taught me

現在這世界上英雄並不算少
Taught me how to catch 'em when they said they couldn't be caught
但如果你問起我那我的英雄肯定就是
Nobody ever had to worry about me

佐治亞的男孩正學著怎麼釣一條大鱸魚
There's a lot of heroes out there these days
就是看他戴一頂田納西的帽子釣起來一條大口黑鱸
But if you ask me mine, there's only one name I'll say

因為我只是想成為比爾丹斯而已
From the best damn fisherman the world's ever had
Taught me how to tie 'em on
陽光剛剛照上了樹梢
Taught me how to take 'em off
今天肯定也是美好不已吧我想這也不難看見
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

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