Too Much Wishing, Not Enough Fishing

Lyrics

The classified are spread across your coffee table With a circle drawn around some ad, says boat for sale She’s a fisherman’s dream, and all you’ve ever talked about But you take a swig, shake your head, and cross it out Too much wishing And not enough fishing Too many days saying maybe someday While the clock keeps ticking You’ve got to say now every now and then Or you’re gonna wind up my friend Doing too much wishing And not enough fishing On Dock B that little boat sits in a slip Sign’s been up for a week or two but no bites yet Yeah she needs a little work but at this price what a steal But your wife says honey wait for a better deal Back to too much wishing And not enough fishing Too many days saying maybe one day While the clock keeps ticking You’ve got to say now every now and then Or you’ll wind up once again Doing too much wishing And not enough fishing Ever the day we met you’ve been talking ‘bout that big dream Now all these years have come and gone, but still the same routine Always not now, later on, if I could, man I would The excuses never end Now that sign says “sold” and you’re story’s getting old ‘Cause there you go again, still wishing Not enough nows, too many thens Too many whys and not enough whens And too much wishing But not enough fishing So cast that line and reel one in Or your story just might end With too much wishing And not enough fishing Too much wishing And not enough fishing
