Janie’s Gone Fishin’

Billy left Janie in a pool of tears
Cryin' on her pillow every night
For what seemed like years
Feeling lost and so misled
But Billy got tired of playing the field
Now, like a guilty dog
He's turning on his heels
With his tail between his legs
He's runnin' back to the love he's been missin'
But it's a little too late

Janie's gone fishin'
Janie's gone fishin'
Billy's high and dry
Janie's gone fishin'
She refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty of fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin'

Billy knows that his goose is cooked
But still, he's hopin'
That he'll have a chance to bite the hook
When Janie throws out her line
So he's lookin' all over town
Ah, but Janie, she's nowhere to be found
She's out havin' a good time
It ain't him she'll be kissin'
Billy's gone berserk

'Cause Janie's gone fishin'
Janie's gone fishin'
Billy's high and dry
Janie's gone fishin'
She refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty of fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin', yeah!

Yeah, she refused to be a slave to the misery
When there's plenty of fish in the sea
Janie's gone fishin'
Go on, Janie!
