Larry Joe Taylor - Shrimpin' And Skrimpin' lyrics

He's shrimpin' and skrimpin', barely gettin' by Son of a fisherman he never asks why Lately the cull is more then the keep He's been at it too long, but it's, it's in him too deep Sun comin' up as he steps on the boat Cranks up the diesel, he's covered in smoke She sprung a few leaks, got a bunch of dings She's using some oil and she need some new rings But she'll just have to wait for the big catch to come Takin' all that I make to keep my wife and my son This old bay is gettin' harder to rake Sometimes I swear I'm gonna pack up and leave We keep shrimpin' and skrimpin', barely gettin' by I'm the son of a fisherman so I never ask why Lately the cull is more then the keep I been at it too long, but it's, it's in him too deep (Instrumental) We saved the dolphins and the turtles for years While our boats rust away, it seems like nobody cares We fought the oil slicks, man we ain't beat 'em yet And sometimes I swear I got a hole in my net There's nothing to do but just do what you can You get up in the morning and go do it again I'm to old to change, I'm too proud to loose I'm too scared to smuggle so what can you do Keep shrimpin' and skrimpin', barely gettin' by The son of a fisherman, I never ask why But lately the cull is more then the keep I been at it too long, but it's, it's in him too deep Shrimpin' and skrimpin', barely gettin' by The son of a fisherman, I never ask why But lately the cull is more then the keep I been at it too long, but it's, it's in him too deep I been at it too long, but it's in me too deep
