Fish and Whistle (Live) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been thinkin' lately about the people I meet
The car wash on the corner and the hole in the street
The way my ankles hurt with shoes on my feet
I'm wonderin' if I'm gonna see tomorrow

[Chorus]
Father, forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

[Verse 2]
I was in the army, but I never dug a trench
Used to bust my knuckles on a monkey wrench
I'd go to town and drink, give the girls a pinch
I don't think they ever even noticed me

[Chorus]
Father, forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

[Bridge]
Fish and whistle and whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
When we get through, we'll make a big wish
That we never have to do this again, again, again
[Verse 3]
On my very first job, I said thank you and please
They made me scrub a parking lot down on my knees
Then I got fired for bein' scared of bees
They only give me fifty cents an hour

[Chorus]
Father, forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us and we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other 'til we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

[Bridge]
Fish and whistle, whistle and fish
Eat everything that they put on your dish
And when we get through, we'll make a big wish
That we never have to do this again again again

[Chorus]
Father, forgive us for what we must do
You forgive us, we'll forgive you
We'll forgive each other till we both turn blue
Then we'll whistle and go fishing in heaven

[Outro]
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
We'll whistle and go fishing in heaven
