10% Brains, 95% Muscle

[Verse]
Out past the gum trees
The creek runs low
Dad’s old tinny
It’s starting to show
Sun's up high
It's a burnin’ crown
He casts his line
Then he sits back down

[Chorus]
"10% brains
95% muscle
"
He grins at the rod
The line starts to tussle
"The rest
" he says with a wink and a chuck
"Is just a whole lot of good luck."

[Verse 2]
The esky’s light
Just a sandwich or two
He laughs at the clouds
The sky's too blue
Pelican’s waiting
Wings stretched wide
But the fish ain’t bitin’
They’ve got time to bide

[Prechorus]
"Patience
Mate
" he nods to the breeze
"Fishin’s a dance
Not a race to seize."

[Chorus]
"10% brains
95% muscle
"
He grins at the rod
The line starts to tussle
"The rest
" he says with a wink and a chuck
"Is just a whole lot of good luck."

[Bridge]
Out here
It’s not about the haul
It’s the sound of the water
The magpies’ call
The stories shared
The jokes that stick
The quiet rhythm of the river’s tick
