Leave The Hook In
Put me on the back burner Keep the fire turned down low Stir me slowly every now and then Or I just might boil away	Toss me in your catch bucket Or throw me back into the river Don't let me flop around forever I must drink or I must swim
You can leave the hook in You might wanna reel me back in You can leave the hook in I like havin' that hook in
I make a pretty good spare tire A backup in emergency Throw me in your trunk and lock it I just might come in handy	Like a ragged worn out pair a' shoes It still feels good to slip me on So while you're lookin' for some new ones No sense in tossing out the old
You can leave the hook in You might wanna reel me back in You can leave the hook in I like havin' that hook in
I don't mind it here on layaway While you shop around the town Just remember to redeem me By my expiration date	Put me on the back burner Leave me here on layaway Throw me in the trunk and lock it Toss me in your catch bucket
You can leave the hook in You might wanna reel me back in You can leave the hook in I like havin' that hook in
