(david lee murphy)
Sally cantrell worked behind the bar
Had a wavin rebel flag tattooed on her arm
She called everybody honey
That came walkin through her door
She was known for puttin things just the way they were
She called em like she saw em without smoothin fur
When it comes to woman torubles
Nobody said it better than her no sir
If the fish aint bitin
If the fish aint bitin
Well now dont go gettin shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook
With that low smokey voice I can she her lord
Breakin up fights over chevys and fords
With that motherly broomstick logic
No man can ignore
But on the subject of love she gave good advice
And everybody listened without thinkin twice
And she swore when she said it
Without blinkin an eye oh my
If the fish aint bitin
If the fish aint bitin
Well now dont go gettin shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook
So if youre down on your luck and all you can say is
You shouldve seen the one I let get away
Well maybe all you need is a change in your strategy yes indeed
If the fish aint bitin
If the fish aint bitin
Well now dont go gettin shook
Honey take a look
What kinda bait you got on the hook
