Take The Boy Fishin' Lyrics

She was walking down the dock with her favorite new toy
To the rest of the world I was just a boy
With holes in my jeans and dirty long hair
It was time to meet her Daddy and man I was scared
Of that “Salty Old Dog” and that look in his eyes
That said, stay away from the love of my life
He climbed down off the boat and pulled me aside said,

What do you say we go fishin’
Just you and me
You know a whole lot can happen
When you’re out there at sea
You might calm the deep water
Or make the sea roar
You can ride back in the Captain’s seat
Or swim back to shore

Well he reached out and gave me a slap on the back
Threw back his head and had a good laugh
Just as the smile disappeared from his face
He pulled out his knife started cutting some bait
Through the awkward silenc an dthe howling of the wind I heard, what’d cha sasy your name was again
And when it comes to my daughter, just whado you
intend?

What do you say we go fishin’
Just you and me
You know a whole lot can happen
When you’re out there at sea
You might calm the deep water
Or make the sea roar
You can ride back in the Captain’s seat
Or swim back to shore

You see boy I’m the only one her “Old Man’ didn’t chase
away
And when those twin diesels roared
I hopped on board
And lived to tell about it to this day

What do you say we go fishin’
Just you and me
You know a whole lot can happen
When you’re out there at sea
You might calm the deep water
Or make the sea roar
You can ride back in the Captain’s seat
Or swim back to shore
