LARGEMOUTH BASS - Hildebrandt (McGreth Music BMI)
When I was just a little boy
My Daddy he said to me
"Let me tell you about the largest
Largemouth Bass in history
He goes by the name of the General
And He lives down in the lake
If you try to land this fish
It'll be your last mistake"
My Daddy'd heard about this fish
When he was just a young man
My Uncle Randy had him in his boat
He took off Randy's hand
Men had tried and failed in bass boats
Others in canoes
I saw the look of defeat in my daddy's eye
I knew what I had to do
Take another pass by the hole
Take another cast to soothe my soul
Largemouth bass on my line
Largemouth bass on my mind
After everyone had gone to sleep
I snuck out about three o'clock
I took all of my fishing gear
And I went down to the dock
I took the keys to my Daddy's boat
Silently I paddled away
When I gunned the engines
The vibrations seemed to say
Take another pass by the hole
Take another cast to soothe my soul
Largemouth bass on my line
Largemouth bass on my mind
I trolled around for hours
The hours seemed like days
I tried al of my favorite baits
But I wasn't getting any play
I stuck a whole chicken on a giant hook
And dropped it overboard
And let me tell you people what happened next
Made me say "Oh my Lord!"
Something hit my line like a diesel train
Bent my poor rod in half
My arms were nearly dislocated
I had no breath to laugh
After 45 minutes of a vicious fight
I landed that scaly freak
When I got him up in the boat.
He began to speak.......
"I go back to the native man,
I go back to honest Abe
Some men walked around free,
Others had to be slaves.
Some men wore fancy clothes,
Others had to wear chains.
Some men were treated like animals,
Others thought they had bigger brains"
You know there's some kind of people
Want to make it like it was back then
Keeping all the money and power
In the hands of evil men.
We'll be good godamned if we let em'
and the old fish said to me,
"I live in the water, you live o the land,
we both want Liberty!"
Take another pass by the hole
Take another cast to soothe my soul
Largemouth bass on my line
Largemouth bass on my mind
Take another pass by the hole
Take another cast to soothe my soul
Largemouth bass on my line
Largemouth bass on my mind
METATRON Hildebrandt/Ferraro (McGreth Music BMI)
Meaning of this song
Metatron is on the phone
Asking Questions without answers
Gets you when you're all alone
Did he part the waters?
Was it just a tidal change?
The answers to these questions
Always sound so very strange
Bringing you the message
Showing you the light
Cataclysmic changes
Almost overnight
Meaning of this song
Metatron is on the phone
Asking Questions without answers
Gets you when you're all alone
Virgin Conception
Or just a very special boy
So many true believers
Get so easily annoyed
Bringing you the message
Showing you the light
Cataclysmic changes
Almost overnight
Meaning of this song
Metatron is on the phone
Asking Questions without answers
Gets you when you're all alone
THE SUN GOES UP Hildebrandt (McGreth Music BMI)
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
The moon comes out at night
You might not believe
But somebody loves you
And everything is gonna work out right
Troubles have come
Troubles have passed
Like old Uncle Bob said
The first one will later be last
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And its all...all comin around
Ride into Jerusalem
Like some kind of boss
One week later
They nail your ass to a cross
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And its all...all comin around
You could be a lawyer
You could be a liar
You'll be cooking pigeons
Around a garbage can fire
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And its all...all comin around
Standing on the corner
A lookout for the hole
Ten years later
Could be playing in the super bowl
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And its all...all comin around
Sittin in the county jail
Just passing the time
Or you could be on a third date
Strolling along the high line
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And it's all...all coming around
You might feel
Like it's the end of your rope
Someone comes and ties on some string
Gives you a little hope
The sun goes up
The sun goes down
And its all...all comin around
