I've got a fishin' pole and plenty of line
I'm gonna get you over, it's a matter of time
I've got a sweet spot just around the bend in the creek
I'm gonna throw it in where the water's real deep

(Chorus)
Catfish, big bass, fresh water trout
I think you get the picture what I'm talking about
It's just too nice a day for me to sit and cry
You were some kind of catch but I got bigger fish to fry

I got cheese bait, salmon eggs, Boy Howdy lures
I got my boat on the trailer and a six pack of Coors
Got a tape of Merle Haggard called "The Way I Am"
Half a stick of butter and a fryin' pan

(Repeat chorus)

I feel a little nibble and I'm ready to fight
No I ain't backin' down like I did last night
So if the boys at the bar start askin' where I've been
Since you threw me back I've been reelin' 'em in

(Repeat chorus)

Highway rider, honky-tonker
Womanizer, I've heard 'em all
Instigator, trouble-maker
Navigator, on the road to ruin

I was born that way, well I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, what can I say
I can bend but I won't break
You know I learned from my mistakes
Some things you just can't change
I was born that way

Whiskey drinker, smooth talker
Heart breaker, that no one can tame
But I'l tell you what is true
I've been called a name or two
But honey I love you
And always will

I was born that way, well I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, how can I change
You can take me or leave me
You can doubt me or believe me
Let ' em say what they wanna say
I was born that way

God didn't make me the way I am for nothin'
And momma didn't raise me to give up on my dreams
So when the going gets tough
And good ain't good enough
Girl you can depend on me, I ain't givin' up
I was born that way

I was born that way, no I ain't no rebel
I was born that way, and I cannot change
I can bend but I won't break
You see I learned from my mistakes
Some things you just can't change
I was born that way

I can still hear momma sayin'
He was born that way
I was born that way
Yeah I was born that way
You I ain't no rebel
I was born that way
I was born that way

When you're down and confused
And you don't remember, who you're talkin' to
Concentration, slip away
Because your baby is so far away

(Chorus)
But there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies, with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Honey, love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't start cryin' over good time's you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

(Repeat chorus)

Turn your heartache into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need no more advice

(Repeat chorus)

A five tier cake and a Bill Blass gown
We'll invite the toast of every town
Oh what a wedding this will be
A picture perfect memory
Now the greats of the world will all be there
We'll invite the President, hell maybe even Cher
Dom Perignon for everyone
Yeah, that oughta get it done
But honey, if that ain't your idea of fun

Plan B
Drive to Vegas tie the knot
Spend your money on the slots
Honeymoon in the parkin' lot of the cheapest motel
Plan B
I always keep it handy in case I ever need
Something to fall back on if things go wrong
Plan B

Now on a luxury liner we'll lay in the sun
As we make our way to the Carribean
Enjoy the fruits of a tropical isle
Swim in the water wearing nothing but smiles
But baby, if that ain't your style

Plan B
We'll go fishin' at the dam
Eat our dinner from the pan
Make love the best we can in our sleeping bag
Plan B
Well I always keep it handy in case I ever need
Something to fall back on if things go wrong
Plan B

Einstein surely must have had his doubts
Houdini must have had more than one way out
All the great minds of this century
Had more than a trick up their sleeve
Plan B

Plan B
Well I always keep it handy
The perfect remedy
Something to fall back on if things go wrong
Plan B
If at first you don't succeed
Pick up and move on to
Plan B
Plan B
Plan B
If at first you don't succeed
Pick up and move on to
Plan B
Plan B

She's waiting
For someone who could
Make her feel the way she used to feel
But he never comes

She's dating
But no one that she cares to talk about
And all the flowers in all the world
Don't amount to much
When what you want is love

(Chorus)
She'd give anything
Everything
To fall in love
Just this one time
She'd like to find
What she's been dreaming of
She could find someone to hold her
But that wouldn't be enough
She'd give anything
To fall in love

She's looking
Like she'd rather be some place else
Staring across the bar
Lost in herself
Will he ever come

(Repeat chorus)

She's gonna keep on making wishes
She's gonna keep on being strong
She won't settle for less than true love
She's gonna keep holding on

(Repeat chorus)
