Song Description

I love eating fish. So good for you. I also like women. So good for you too. So good you marry them sometimes. But that doesn't mean you stop being perpetually confused about relationships. And the most complicated one I have is the one with myself.

Lyrics

My ambition's gone fishing. Don't know where I stand
In a river, or up on dry land
Them fish ain't a bitin, like they use to do
Is it me, or is it you?

There's a whitecap in the river that's spelling my name
In its teeth are my past lives and dreams
Those traps we were setting got all swept away
As the wave broke, I heard you say

You're not my darlin
You're only prince charmin
on parole
I stood there chillin,
It was true but she knew I had no regrets

(You see) My ambition is ditching the only other life
That I knew that I know
But time-to-time I'm alone in this mud in a river that flows

My solution is to wade out
In the water beyond where I should go every day
Then come back, bring you faith
so you will understand. There's nothin more we can say

I wasn't the father, I was only the lover
on the beach (that day)
It was the wrong thing to say,
She packed her bag, shook off the sand
then she left

See my ambition is ditching, The only other life
That I knew, That I know
But time to time I'm alone in this mud and this river still flows
