Verse 1:
C majorC
Well I got up early on this Lord's day
FF C majorC
With the sun peakin' through the curtains
C majorC
Thought I could wet a line for a couple good hours
FF C majorC
And still make the 10 o'clock sermon
C majorC
But the sky is blue and the breeze is cool
FF C majorC
And they're bitin' good, not to mention
C majorC
If I left right now might make it somehow
FF C majorC
But I doubt I could pay attention
Chorus:
C majorC
I'd rather be on the lake with my mind on God
FF C majorC
In the middle of His creation
C majorC
In an old john boat with my zip pole rod
FF C majorC
For some private conversation
C majorC
There might be a few people talkin' bad about me
FF C majorC
When they see that I'm a-missin'
C majorC
But I'd rather be on the lake with my mind on God
FF C majorC
Than in church with my mind on fishin'
Verse 2:
C majorC
Well I like that preacher and I love how it feels
FF C majorC
When he really gets to throwin' down
C majorC
But I's rather do my talkin' with the man upstairs
FF C majorC
When there's nobody else around
C majorC
If I was there right now I'd be thinkin' about
FF C majorC
Which lure I was gonna cast
C majorC
Bet he don't need another fool sittin' in that pew
FF C majorC
Dreamin' about a ten pound bass
Chorus:
C majorC
I'd rather be on the lake with my mind on God
