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
