Jay Webb Paw Paw's Boat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I learned more on the creek, good Lord
Than I ever did in classrooms, church or court
The days were long and talks were short on paw paw's boat
Well, granny sent a cooler packed full of snacks
And we were on a mission just to bring her something back
'Cause the bragging rights went to whoever came home with more from paw paw's boat

[Chorus]
Out where the birds were the radio
And tall oak trees where the moss hung low
That's where we'd find our spot
Where the bobber's hot and the day burns slow
Out where the woods meets the river bank
I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made
Guess I learned everything I've ever known
On paw paw's boat
[Verse 2]
Now this old launch turned to memory lane
Faded tackle box on the dock says our last name
And I'd give anything for one more day in paw paw's boat
I met a girl and I fell in love
She grew up on a creek fishin' just like us And today I'm knockin' a little bit of rust off her, paw paw's boat

[Chorus]
Out where the birds were the radio
And tall oak trees where the moss hung low
That's where we'd find our spot
Where the bobber's hot and the day burns slow
Out where the woods meets the river bank
I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made
Guess I learned everything I've ever known
On paw paw's boat

[Bridge]
The man I am today I owe to the time spent on that lake
Lord knows that I'd give anything to go back just for one more day

[Chorus]
Out where the birds were the radio
And tall oak trees where the moss hung low
That's where we'd find our spot
Where the bobber's hot and the day burns slow
Out where the woods meets the river bank
I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made
Guess I learned everything I've ever known
On paw paw's boat
