You and Me go fishing in the dark.....

The receptionist in my office has a daughter who just turned 16. She is a sweetheart of a girl and now has an official boyfriend. She has been working here in our office part-time this summer (filing, making copies, etc) to earn some spending money. She recently told me that her and her new boyfriend went and spent a good chunk of his paycheck and hers too I guess on fishing tackle! Why in the world would you buy fishing tackle when there are much more interesting things to buy like clothes, jewerly...food..etc...

Well, apparently they are going to go fishing tonight in the dark......I don't know why, but it reminds me of that Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Song:

Lazy yellow moon comin up tonite,
Shinin thru 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 ole stump road
Im gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo

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 thru, feels so good to be with you...

Spring is almost over and the summers 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 dont matter if we sit forever and the fish dont bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves from the heat of the night
Baby get ready.....ooooooooooo.
