Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight
Shinin' through the trees
Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs
Are floatin' on the breeze
Baby get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back
By the old stump road
I'm gonna take you to a special place
That nobody knows
Baby get ready, ooh

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow

Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you
Spring is almost over and the summer's come
And the days are gettin' long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you along, baby get ready

And it don't matter if we sit forever
And the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
From the heat of the night
Baby get ready, ooh

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow

Stayin' the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows
Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night
Just movin' slow

Prayers and well wishes sometimes don't seem like enough. This is one of those times. Losing a loved one, especially a child, is unimaginable. My heart hurts for you. But just like you made mention of, we're able to work our ways to an eternal kingdom where such grief can't enter. Just suffer a little while longer and push on. It's all we can do until we hear "well done my good and faithful servant".

Road trip to Calgary. Long drive. Thanksgiving. My brother is freshly married and the whole family is listening to this song in the living room and I remember this song from my childhood. I'm in total bliss, eating a 10/10 thanksgiving meal and I feel real happy.

Now a couple years later; they are smashed to smithereens, broken up and divorced. But this song still reminds me of when they were happy and it makes me feel just as happy as ever still to listen to it.

About 10 years ago my grandpa bought a 1996 smokercraft fishing boat a real nice little fishing boat. Anyway he left it up at his farmhouse for 2 years and we just got it out of there and after 3 weeks of repairs and cleaning we went fishing in a big lake and used the stereo to play this song on the way to our fishing spot.

Too legit to quit all these years. It still perks me up to know every part of this song inside out. My older sister had the cassette and we listened to this one on repeat for a while. Makes me appreciate country music a little bit to know, at any point in my music career I could just give up, but me a big old tour bus, and take my pro act on the road. You have to have a couple decades of actual cowboy work to know exactly where that fishing in the dark occurs for some. Thanks Nitty Gritty Dirt Band!! Y’all made it okay for me to appreciate the finer parts of my own chosen profession in life; a musician. I have never thought much about lyrics until writing my own album. Word word said this little cowboy bebop literal overlap for the birds.
