Hard Water

On the hard water in the Great Northwoods
Where the sun set starts in early afternoon
Ponderin life through a hole in the ice
On the H a r d water..

In the shack by the crack a dawn and anything but warm
Clouds are dark and the winds up – ahead of the comin storm
Holes are drilled – got the flags set – time to settle in ‘n
Solve the whole worlds problems n’ do a little ice fishin

On the hard water in the Great Northwoods
Where the sun set starts in early afternoon
Ponderin life through a hole in the ice
On the H a r d water..

By 2 P.M. ya hadn’t seen a flag ya – hadn’t had one bite yet
Any other man would have to call it – a day to forget
That’s the difference between you and him
The lake won’t beatcha – ya know you’re gonna win

On the hard water in the Great Northwoods
Where the sun set starts in the early afternoon
Ponderin life through a hole in the ice
On the H a r d water..
