Traffic hums in the city square
Static noise on the evening air
But my mind's on a country road Where the river's cool and
the water flows
I don't need no gold or a crowded room
Just a simple plan in the afternoon (humm-mm)
Give me a pretty girl and a fishing pole
Let the quiet river heal my weary soul
Sitting by the bank till the sun goes down
Far away from the noise of the busy town (yeah,
far away)
She's got a smile like the summer sun
Laughing soft when the day is done
Bobber floating on the glassy blue
There ain't nothing else we need to do
Let the phones ring out,
let the world spin fast
We found a moment
that is made to last
Give me a pretty girl and a fishing pole
Let the quiet river heal my weary soul
Sitting by the bank till the sun goes down
Far away from the noise of the busy town (ooh,
far away)
Just a pretty girl and a fishing pole
(mm-mm, down by the water)
