[Verse 1]
Rod goes up, line goes out
Spinning reel, fishing for trout
Casting toward the bubbles and you reel it in
Hook a speckled rainbow, watch the spinning reel spin

[Verse 2]
You got no income and your, your wife left home
Spinning reel is all you own
Bummed a couple quarters for a half a dozen worms
Land a native brookie, watch that spinning reel burn

[Bridge]
Never mind the no fishing sign
On the gate across the pathway
You will find that the fishing's fine
It's Miller Time, let out your line
'Til something starts wiggling on your reel

[Verse 3]
Game warden's waiting just for you
Spinning lights, flashing blue
Drop all your tackle by the riverside
Toss your homemade rod and let the spinning reel fly
