- A tale based on true events that took place 10/6/20 on a fishing trip with Vince Herman
Lyrics:
Well I woke up this morning ‘bout a quarter past 4, I grabbed my cap and my bag and slipped out the door
I hooked up my tracker to the U-haul hitch, went and picked up Vince and we headed out to peep the sitch’
..figured we’d try to go get into some smallies in the clear water..
praying there wasn’t nothin’ to get snagged up on.
So we’re cruisin’ somewhere near Livingston, I had some herb in my bowl and I lit it again. I was jabbered in the jaw and crimson in the eye, on the way to Dale Hollow I was floatin’ like a butterfly. Then I got stung by a bee.
Had to squeeze the mustard, uncle Vinnie said “wow” I saw then I saw the lights flash and my heart sank down, then a man rolled up with a real nice lean and I rolled down my window and he smelled my weed.
He said “I’m officer Looper the Tennessee state trooper and I’ll take your license and your registration and your grass.
I guess it was only a matter of time.
He said “where you headin’?” I said “to catch some bass” he said “step on our under my magnifying glass” he made me watch his fingers and touch my nose then he made me count to 30 but then he let me go. Made my day.
I reckon it was a little catch and release.
So that there’s my story and I want you to know, if you’re gonna go fishin’ ya better take her slow, better look both ways and keep her in line, let this be a lesson to your partners in crime: always watch your six and nine, don’t roll through the stop sign,
you don’t always need to make the verses rhyme, don’t be mixin’ liquor with your wine, if you feel so inclined, keep me in mind and by the way only break one law at a time.

excellent job RB!!..real good!!..hot damn man, is that billy the kidd?..did u have to pull any strings to animate?..haha, jus kidden ya man..everyone knows that's billy the kidden ya strings therein and pooch the pal a waggin that tale;
great work!
Fantastic work! Perfect for the song! Thanks man ❣️
Now let me get them Swams!
reallly good job i had a lot of fun
My dad is the cop that stopped him that he’s talking about in this song, our whole town went crazy about it when it came out
Oh c’mon
"Only break one law at a time."
Love it. My dad used to say that. He was a wise man. I miss him.
Thank you, Billy, for making me think of him.
My pap says the same i am sorry for your loss my pap has stage 3 heart failure and I am cherishing every sun and moon we get together. Really hope you are recovering well friend I'm scared for when he goes
"Do as I say, not as I do" - my first driving lesson with my dad!
Haha...my version of your dad's saying has always been "don't break the law when you're breaking the law". Based on my ex husband's old drug dealing ways of letting these tweaker get from him n head down the road with dead tags, no insurance, taillights out or just stupid! Always told him how stupid THAT was! Predictive and ironic, as that's exactly what landed him in prison! These days the young n dumb too cowardly to take the fall for their own stupid moves, cry if spend a night in jail n turn tail squealing like piggies in a heartbeat. No honor amongst thieves these days I guess. TMI? LOL, sorry. Just sharing some truths!
So hard to not love this boy. Just keep being you Billy.
why would you try :D
How was the fishing though?!!!
Can't wait for the sequel Lmao
Preach
The leaves are fallin…the critters are crawlin…and no that’s not Billy’s darlin🤘🏻
Why would I want to stop loving Billy?
I love it when the dog hands over the weed. 😂
Only break one law at a time. That is timeless advice.
This track has always spoken to me. Still here 2024
Reminds me of "Fraternity Blues" and "Talking Thunderbird Blues" by Townes Van Zandt.
My pap has stage 3 heart failure. He loves johnny prine and anything bluegrass. I showed him billy strings and that has become our fun thing we listen to. Hes an old hippie on a mountain and my best friend. He loved this song so much. I cherish every day with him. Thanks fot this song it really made our day. Thanks billy
An instant classic.
Fishing & weed. Two of my favorite things in life.
This song is an instant classic like Uneasy Rider, Beer Run, and The Road goes on Forever.
Billy, you’re the next generation of outlaw country.
What in the hell are any of those songs lol?
@@bretthager6292
They’re kickass songs! Uneasy rider by Charlie Daniels, Beer Run by Todd Snider, and The road goes on Forever by Robert Earl Keene.
Check’em out. You’ll love them all! 🤙
This definitely feels like it could be Todd Snider! Something Iike Talking Seattle Grunge Rock Blues
Was going to say this reminds me of Uneasy Rider
I get Talking Thunderbird Blues vibes
Dude almost as good as a songwriter as he is a guitar player. Every song he’s ever written is good.
I keep finding Billy Strings doing songs about me. 😄
Yeah, another banger from Billy. Really no surprise at this point. Pure talent here.
Yeah a lot of hard work
Yup I’m done being shocked. Its what the man does
Wasn't going fishing, but have a very similar story. Thats what I love about this guy, his stories.. and relatable ones at that.
This is my new favorite BMFS song, the video is Amazeballs, I love the glazed eyes 👀, the whole thing screams Alice’s Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. A great case of Catch and Release! My husband laughed so hard, we just saw Billy a few weeks ago at the Gorge, his band is so tight!!❤😂
Townes Van Zandt vibes all day FTW
I’d like to see every song animated like this 🐐
A tale as old as the hills. I love how it sums up the progression of feelings when the fuzz pulls you over, followed by a poignant rapid fire of advice that one could carry with them through life. You are great Billy!
I was so sad when the fish got off the line at the end! By the way my dad is a big fisherman and I sent him this video, he absolutely loved it!
Thanks for the smile today:) love your music Billy!
Morning gang!! Let's do this.. ONLY BREAK ONE LAW AT A TIME!!
Only my 4th time listening to this today
Billy performed "Catch and Release" at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on February 23rd. He reminded me of Woody Guthrie ! It's great seeing a younger musician utilize the talkin' blues ! But Billy is known for honoring those who came before him !
I love this song.
You know Robert Earl Keen and John Prine are up there loving this one!
That's the one law. Only break one law at a time lol! Love me some Billy.
This video will fit nicely on my Talking Blues playlist. For those unfamiliar with this style of song, be sure to check out Chris Bouchillon from the 1920s.
Was not expecting Chris Bouchillon to be mentioned at all in this day and age!
Strong Townes/ fraternity blues vibes with this one and I love it.
Woody Guthrie...
Robert Earl Keen
Came here to say this^^^
The starts like a homage to Johnny Cash and the end is like a homage to Bob Dylan. Great stuff!!
Well this is gonna be on repeat for awhile
Love the Charlie Daniel's uneasy rider vibe
This is generational! Billy's the new Dylan, Bill Monroe and Willie Nelson combined.
Hope Dylan is proud of Billy keeping the talking-blues style alive, very much a nod to the specific way Dylan did it imo... (yes i know, Dylan didn't create it, but he's still alive to hear it.)
Yes totally agree, and Todd Snider
Damnit Billy...same damn thing happened to me August 2016. Tennessee between Nashville and Memphis...took my herb and let me go. Great song man!
Only break one law at a time! That's good advice right there!!!
Probably my favorite from Billy! Good job guys! Its songs like this that make me appreciate the times I live in. I used to want to live in different decade. Between you and Sierra Ferrell, I really appreciate the one I'm living!
Ya turned my frown upside down. Thanks for all ya do Billy 🐐💗
Thanks for the show Johnny, I mean Billy🤘🤘😜
I'm still glowing from last Sunday's show at the Wiltern, and this new video has me smiling wide again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
only break one law at a time .... thats my boy . kept me free this past fifty years
It's like the new 30 point buck song but better!😂😁🤙🙌.. Billy you are a wizard!
Another classic Billy!
Man !!!! There was Johnny Cash that could tell a story and captivate me... now there's you !!!
Made my day !
It's Bass season! Haven't smoked in exactly 50 days and smoked my first J with this tune. Good times bud.
Doobie in my Pocket energy. Love it.
Caught this one live at fiddlers last week, highlight of the show for sure
Now, Billy, you're talking about MY old stomping grounds. My great grandparents were the Dales of Dale Hollow. Hope you caught a few!
I found this as I was sitting here contemplating doing almost the exact same thing today..... Although my truck tag is bad, my boat trailer has no tags or lights..... I'll take this as a sign not to go until I'm more prepared 😂😂😂
Dale Hollow lake with a Livingston trooper. Hellva way to start the day. Sounds like you got a good trooper.
❤ Supreme Being..
Hope He Tours Kentucky ASAP
One of the youngest legends alive...
Jah bless Bllly Strings
Channeling Dylan. Bravo!
Freakin AWESOME!!!I love that you mention Livingston & Dale Hollow.
Wow, this is fantastic! Yay! Totally remember when this tale was told during On the Line a couple years ago. Maybe one of the few things worth remembering, lol. Absolutely looooooove it! Puff tough but don’t get cuffed…eat your vegetables and go to festivallls! 🥦🎣 🚔 ❤
Awesome! The artwork is great and the music is hilarious!
Yes 🎣 just what we needed
Recollection of "Alice's Restaurant", only different. Love this.
I agree, I have been listening to Arlo again, because Billy reminds me of Arlo’s music and talking blues, the animation is genius and perfect! Just saw Billy for the first time last Saturday.
Great tune and great animation 👌😊🎶🌿🌳
The animation was perfect for this. Excellent work!
I love it 🥰 how is it possible to release so much gold! Song after song ❤
Ohh my goodness this was so great I absolutely love everything about this great job putting this together and a very big thank you for sharing this with all of us 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Everything tune you play is golden, Billy. Glad to be around to watch you do your thing
Bravo Billy Stings !!!! ***Standing Ovation
Big Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic vibes. I love it!
Keeping the touch burning for Woody, Arlo & us. Thanks Billy
Great stuff. Billy has been listening to some old Bob Dylan.
The beginning sounds like while I'm waiting here. Great story ❤️😀
Awesome song Billy. Man this kid is so talented.
Smallies always breach....lov'm.
I'll be watching this many more times. Great song, great video.
BMFS did it again 🐐
This has nothing to do with a picnic. Awesome 👍
Mr. Townes Van Zandt, Doc Watson, Woodie Guthrie, talkin blues
Love the king of the hill vibes
Wow sending this to someone who REALLY needs it today. Billy the songs great and the animation is awesome!
Goddamnit Billy, come play some Hawaii shows!
❤much love from Nederland Colorado, p.s need Billy ft silas
HELLL YEAAAAA!
Billy, you never cease to amaze me with your music. The future of music is in great hands!
Clearly a Todd Snider tribute. Love it!
What a great throwback kinda song
Living that old style story telling vibe.
Talkin' Stoned Fisherman's Not So Paranoid Blues.
My daughter once told me that it was amazing how many of my stories of my younger days ended with "and the cops came and we all ran away".
Wonderful
Billy keeps knockin em out of the park! The song is a pure gem on its own, that animation was perfect!
My favorite
This song reminds me of my dad 🥲
Just excellent and humorous!
Billy for president
thanks for all the inspiration billy! looking foward to crossing paths on the music journey !
Brilliant life advice Billy
Love you billy!!
Better and better
Love those BUZZ baits on a fishing trip
Love it! BMFS and dale hollow lake. Two of my faves!
Billy, I’m sure Townes Van Zandt is dancing in heaven to know that you appreciate Fraternity Blues enough to steal the tune
truly a great. billy is a maestro. reminds me of a todd snyder tune. reminiscent of a classic, but new
This go thru my head at work sometimes when im having a bad day and things get a little better :) thank you Billy
