Bill Dance

Bill Dance (born October 7, 1940) is a famous bass fisherman who hosted the fishing television series Bill Dance Outdoors on the Outdoor Channel, and Bill Dance Saltwater on the Sportsman Channel. Here, Luke Bryan pays tribute to his fishing hero. All I ever wanted to be was Bill Dance Fishing for a living Saturday morning on television Born and raised in the rural Georgia town of Leesburg, Luke Bryan grew up loving bass fishing on the Muckalee Creek. Watching Bill Dance's TV programs every Saturday and Sunday inspired him to be a great fisherman.

This is not the first song where Bryan has sung of his love of fishing. "Muckalee Creek" finds Bryan recalling his childhood days catching crawfish in the titular body of water. "Huntin,' Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day" is about Bryan pursuing his two favorite activities around Leesburg's Flint River.

Bryan wrote the song with Rhett Akins (Thomas Rhett's dad), Dallas Davidson, and Ben Hayslip. Akins, Davidson and Hayslip are lifelong friends who are known as the Peach Pickers. The three previously collaborated with Bryan on "Huntin,' Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day."
