Backstory:

I live in an area of Maine that is known for it's prized bass fishing and I've been fishing since I was about 7 years old. There used to be a tiny bait shop that I drove by every day called "The Bass Hole" and this was the first thing that sparked the idea for this song. I pitched it to a couple of co-writers and they didn't come onboard for one reason or another, but I just had to write this song. I really loved the way Paul Overstreet and Rory Feek penned Blake Shelton's big hit "Some Beach" and that song also inspired me to write this one.  I hope you enjoy it.

Bass Hole
Pat Aureli

Intro… (Yeah)

V1:
Got my tackle box and fishin' pole 
Rattlin' down this dusty road 
Towin' my boat behind my ol' pickup truck 
Swayin' to the radio – Goin’ where nobody knows 
Headin' to my favorite spot to try my luck 
Cooler of ice and Bud Light 
Dreamin' about watchin' 'em bite 
Outta nowhere comes an S.O.B. flyin' by in an SUV
Before I know – it he's side-swiping me

CH:
Bass hole
Aw, bass hole
But it won't be long til I'm droppin’ a line
And everything’ll be just fine
At that big ol' bass hole

V2:
I'm launchin' my boat out on the lake
Hopin' I'm not runnin' too late 
Thinkin' about reelin' the big one in
Old coffee can filled with bait - a tug on the rope is all it takes 
That motor’s hummin' – got me wearin' a grin 
Tossin' the anchor, poppin' a top
Ready to cast and let my bobber drop 
A jet skier whizzes by (gotta be) doin' sixty-five
I'm barely hanging on just tryin' not to – capsize

CH:
Bass hole
Aw, bass hole
But it won’t be long til I'm dropping a line
And everything’ll be just fine
At this big ol' bass hole

V3/half:
Finally I got a bite
The biggest dang fish of my life
Jumpin' five feet straight up in the air
He put up a helluva a fight  -- then he snapped my pole and the line
I tripped and fell in and all I could do was swear

CH: (Repeat 2x)

Tag:
Whoa-oh-oh-oh big ol' bass hole
Whoa-oh-oh-oh  
Man, what a bass hole  -- Hey, yeah__
Man, what a big ol’ bass hole

Bass hole
