Line In The Water
Lyrics: David L. Graham/Vaughan Daniel
Music: Jeff Walker


Grampa didn't talk a lot 
But when he did he gave it thought 
I suppose you'd say he was wise 
He never seemed to mind at all 
When it came to problems I couldn't solve 
He was always quick to give me his advice

One day when I came home from school 
I said Grandpa I've got a problem for you 
He said boy have a sit and spit it out
 I said, there's a girl I wanna ask to the dance
 And well, Grampa, you know how shy I am
 He said, son, you're just scared she'll shut you down...but it's like this

chorus: 
You've got to have your line in the water 
If you want things to go the way they oughter 
Boy I know this 
If you wanna catch a fish 
You've got to have your line in the water

The next day in English class 
I got up enough courage to ask
 If That girl'd go to the dance with me 
My jaw almost hit the floor 
When she said that's what she was hoping for 
My Grandpa was right as right could be...see

repeat chorus:

bridge: 
So son, you won't catch one every time you go
But when you catch the right one you're gonna know

repeat chorus:

Line In The Water
