As recorded by Riley Green (2025 release) [Intro] C F C F C F C F [Verse 1]
            C                   F
It's gotten hard for me to stop by

    C                F
But I turned in that drive

       C               F                 C           F
Walked past his rusty, two-tone, beat-up Chevy truck

        C                   F
And nowadays, he moves real slow

         C                F
When the hell'd he get so old?

  C                    F                  C  F
I said, "Hey, old man, how you holdin' up?"
[Chorus]
C             G
He said, "The sun is a-shining, got nothing but time

            F              C
'Cause it's Friday all day long

     G
Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

     F                   C
On a boat with the radio on"

    Am               C                   F        C
And we both know his best days are way behind him

                  Dm                     C       F  C  F
But all he had to say was "I bet they're biting"
[Verse 2]
            C                F
He said, "I know a shady old spot

  C                  F
I used to go there a lot

      C                F                   C        F
I can almost smell the burnt oil from that Evinrude

      C                 F
Right now, I don't know when

      C                  F
But I know I'm gonna go again

          C                F                    C          F
Catch the fire out of them largemouth bass like I used to"
[Chorus]
C       G
And the sun'll be shining, got nothing but time

            F              C
'Cause it's Friday all day long

     G
Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

     F                   C
On a boat with the radio on"

    Am               C                   F        C
And we both know his best days are way behind him

                  Dm                     C       F  C
And all he had to say was "I bet they're biting"
[Post-Chorus]
F                   C      F  C
Yeah, I bet they're biting
[Bridge]
              F                     C
He said, "I'm glad that you dropped by

       G          Am
But if I was you, boy, I'd be

F                                     G
Out there on the water now, wettin' a line"
[Chorus]
C       G
And the sun'll be shining, got nothing but time

            F              C
'Cause it's Friday all day long

     G
Be a hell of a day to be out on the lake

     F                   C
On a boat with the radio on"

    Am               C                   F
And we both know his best days are way behind him

      Am               G             F
While that old man was layin' there, dyin'

              Dm  G                  C       F
All he had to say was "I bet they're biting"
[Outro]
C                F                  C      F  C
Yeah, boy, right now, I bet they're biting
