Intro

  

Verse 1

The crickets are singin', the bluegills been bitin'
And the fireflies are flashin' with all of their might
And down on the river ol' Reagan went fishin'
G C N.C.
And he's layin' for a big one on a full moon lit night

Chorus

We get high on the lake and then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Buried deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there but never did good 

Verse 2

Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry
Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
A D N.C.
Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

Chorus

We get high on the lake then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Buried deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there but never did good

Interlude

   

Outro

So give him his guitar and a long legged girl
Moonlight in Texas and a six pack of Pearl.
