BAIT SHOP

Jackson Cross
(Candy Shop parody – outlaw honky-tonk flip)

VERSE 1

I got mud on my boots, got a cooler in the truck
Radio low, got a little bit of luck
Neon buzzing from the sign out front
Girl looking over like she knows what’s up

I ain’t talkin’ ’bout fishing lines
But I’m known to make a good one bite
Got a smile that’ll pull you in
If you’re curious, we can take our time

PRE-CHORUS

Ain’t no rush, ain’t no shame
You know how this small town plays

CHORUS

I’ll take you to the bait shop
Show you what I got on the line
Something fresh, something tempting
Might be just your kind

I’ll take you to the bait shop
Don’t worry, girl, it’s all clean
If you’re looking for a good catch
You know what I mean

VERSE 2

Cold drinks humming in the ice
Back room quiet, door shut tight
Old boys talking at the counter
But they don’t know what’s on your mind

I ain’t promising forever
I ain’t selling you a lie
Just a little southern confidence
And a reason to stay awhile

PRE-CHORUS 2

You don’t have to say a word
That look tells me everything

CHORUS

I’ll take you to the bait shop
Let you see what’s biting tonight
You can look, you can wonder
Take your time deciding right

I’ll take you to the bait shop
Ain’t no pressure, no disguise
If you’re hungry for a thrill
I got just the right size

BRIDGE

(Strip back — bass and vocal)
Some folks talk real loud
Try too hard to impress
Me, I let the moment
Do the rest

FINAL CHORUS

I’ll take you to the bait shop
Every sign says “open late”
If you’re feeling a little reckless
I can be your favorite mistake

Yeah, I’ll take you to the bait shop
Park it close, kill the lights
If you’re ready for a good time
Girl, I’m already right
