He tied a feather to the hook for to get you to look
And by the time you know what took you, you already took
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of menHe put the thorns on the rose for to get you to bleed
And by the time you know what stuck you, the pain's in deep
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of menHe's got a lot on the line
He's a fisher of men
He's a fisher of men
He's wise as a prize fighter
He's like a soul miner
Mining souls on down the great divideOh, the fisher of men
Fisher of men
He's got a lot on the lineHe put his name in my verses and his name in the hook
Before I knew what I was cooking, it was already cooked
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of menAnd he put his name in my chorus like the dark before the dawn
So that in my hour of weakness, I'd remember it's his song
He's got a line in the water
He's a fisher of menHe's got a lot on the line
He's a fisher of men
He's a fisher of men
He's wise as a prize fighter
He's like a soul miner
Mining souls on down the great divideAlways a fisher of men
Fisher of men
He's got a lot on the line
