I had a friend name of Bubba Ray
And he’d go fishing almost every day
And in West Texas you’ve got to love to fish ‘cause it’s a long way to water….
‘Bout every two days he’d hit the interstate
In his custom bass boat painted purple metalflake
Lookin’ for lunks in every pothole he’d find
Then one day in the not too distant past
Bubba Ray caught the fish that was to be his last
‘Cause when he relled it in that fish said, “Set me free and I’ll grant you one wish….”
Now Bubba Ray he just grinned from ear to ear
He said, “That’s what I’ve been waitin’ all my life to hear…”
“So listen up fish…here comes my wish!”
Chorus
Just give me a sixty-six Corvette
A pretty little dark-eyed girl….
Moonlight on a west Texas night
And a cooler full of ice-cold Pearl….
Some folks might wish for diamonds,
Some might wish never to grow old….
But give me that fast read car and that pretty little girl and keep them beers comin’, icey-cold.
That was the last I ever saw of Bubba Ray
But you can hear that Corvette growlin’ when the moon’s full some say
Followed by high girlish laughter
And the smell of beer on the breeze….
‘N me I go fishin’ every damn day
And when I catch my magic fish I’ll know exactly what to say,
So listen up fish…here comes my wish!
