Well I'm leavin' this morning, I'll call when I can. And I'm going fishing on the Rio Grande.
Tell them all I love them, I don't care what they say. Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today. And I'm gonna catch me some quiet today.
Well I went by the circus but the doors were all closed, and the kids were all screaming "I wanna see the big show", and the clown he'd grown tired, and his clothes were worn thin, he said, "I don't care if I ever see this big top again." He said, "I don't mind if I never see the big top again."
And I went by the church and I saw a white veil, and I remember the letter that you sent in the mail. And I wish you the best with your new fancy life, with your shiny black car and rich man by your side. With your shiny black car and rich man by your side.
Well I'm leavin' this morning, I'll call when I can. And I'm going fishing on the Rio Grande.
Tell them all I love them, I don't care what they say. Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today. And I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today.
Well I packed all my things, and it didn't take long. I remember what you look like when you were young. And I wanted to see ya, but I knew it was wrong, so I stayed up all night drinkin' and singin the songs. I just stayed up all night drinkin' and singin the songs.
Well I'm leavin' this morning, I'll call when I can. And I'm going fishing on the Rio Grande.
Tell them all I love them, I don't care what they say. Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today. And I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today. Oh, I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today. Yeah I'm gonna catch me some quiet today.
