Lyrics

Large Mouth Fool

He’s Got a second hand pole that his daddy left behind
Pullin’ bass from the weed on a four pound line
Hitting Roosevelt , Seminole, and Lake Havasu
You can find him in the spring, summer, fall and winter too
If you want ‘em in the boat he’s the man to get ‘r done he’s a large mouth fool…a good ole boy’s son

He’s up before the dawn but he needn’t break camp
Cause he’s sleeping in his truck by his favorite boat ramp
Got his outboard smokin’ ‘fore the sun is in his eyes ,
Got his daddy’s presentation when the boys are on the rise
If you want ‘em in the boat he’s the man to get ‘r done he’s a large mouth fool…a good ole boy’s son

Catch him rolling in the fast-running clear side arms
Trolling quiet in a cove or snagging alligator gar
He’s got a foot-mount rig on a trusty Minn Kota
He’s pullin’ up perch through the ice in Minnesota
If you want ‘em in the boat he’s the man to get ‘r done he’s a large mouth fool…a good ole boy’s son

He’s a fresh water dude but his talk is all salt
And the women think he’s rude, but it’s not his fault
He’s jiggin’ pans from a stump, he’s draggin’ cold water pike
When the hogs are hunkered down he can always get a strike
If you want ‘em in the boat he’s the man to get ‘r done he’s a large mouth fool…a good ole boy’s son

He aint ever had a wife cause he’s always on the water
But I hear he’s got a cute little catch of a daughter
With an angle that would shame any tournament pro
Well she lives up in the hills on the edge of bull shoals
If you want ‘em in the boat he’s the man to get ‘r done he’s a large mouth fool…a good ole boy’s son
