My little workshop is warm and cozy,
I built it out in the backyard
It has become my second home,
since the day that I retired

When summer comes to its end
and the cold winds start to blow
I head for the work shop,
it's my favorite place to go

With the radio playing country music
and some hot coffee on the work bench
I begin to draw out my next project,
measuring each piece, inch by inch

Building all sorts of crafts to sell,
with various colors on everything
Feeders for the winter months
and bird houses for the spring

When the shelves are stocked with cedar
and wood shavings scattered on the floor
It gives the shop a wonderful aroma,
each time I walk through the door

With the change of seasons once again
and warmer weather is finally here
I hang a sign above the shop door,
"GONE FISHIN" then gather all my gear
