Stingray Shuffle

There’s a boat sittin’ under the carport, there’s poles that have fresh  string
There’s a cooler over here, that could sure use some beer,  and bait that could use a fling
But I’m buried under a stack of deadlines, and racking up the overtime
Need to break from the herd, maybe flip the boss the bird and go down and soak a line

I’m neck deep in problems, need to be waist deep in water
Stalking down a sow on an early morning wade
I’m tired of rolling through the motions, or jumping hoops in hopes of promotion
Let’s do the stingray shuffle all across the redfish bay

I’ve been dreaming of going for months now, but I can’t seem to find the time
I’ve got bills that need paid, bricks that need layed, always down to my last dime
The land is driving me crazy, This job driving me insane
Gonna get a little stash, a friend to help with gas, head for a coastal domain

Be less deep in problems,  waist deep in water
Looking for tails glistening in the morning rays
Won’t be rolling through the motions, or jumping hoops in hopes of promotion
Let’s do the stingray shuffle all across the redfish bay


Oh, gotta keep those feet on the bottom
If you nudge ‘em a little, they’ll just swim away
Oh, if you put the foot down
Less deep in problems…waist deep in water
Soaking up heaven’s rays
No rollin’ through the motions, or jumpin’ hoops in hopes of promotions
Do the stingray shuffle all across the redfish bay

Stingray shuffle, all across the barroom bay…
