I Need a Hook
by Art Wheeler

Album: Arkansas

I'm goin' fishin'
Goin' down to the river
I'm takin' equipment
That I always took
I've got a pole
I've got a line
I've got some bait
I need a hook

Opened up my tacklebox
Where I keep my supplies
Because I know if I had one
I'd find it if I would look
I've got some pliers
I've got some weights
I've got some bobbers
I need a hook

I searched in my boat
I searched in my truck
I searched my house
Every cranny and nook
All of my closets
Cabinets and shelves
Even my bathroom
I need a hook

I went down to the bait shop
Where I get all my crickets
Man, they've got everything
Everything in the book
I went up to the counter
And told them what I needed
They said, "We don't have none"
I need a hook

I've got a skillet
A good frying pan
It's on my stove
It's ready to cook
I've got the hunger
Deep down inside me
My stomach is growling
I need a hook

If I was Elvis
And I was in Las Vegas
Women would go crazy
When I shook
He was the King
And he had what they liked
And he knew how to use it
I need a hook
