[Verse 1]
Johnny’s daddy was takin’ him fishin’
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin’ a fishin’ pole
His dad looked down and smiled
Said, “We can’t leave her behind
Son, I know you don’t want her to go
But someday you’ll change mind”
[Pre-Chorus]
said
[Chorus]
Jimmy Johnson, Tommy Thompson
best friend, Bo
anybody you want as
as she don’t go
boy in the world
Daddy, don’t the girl
[Verse 2]
Same old boy, sweet girl
Ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in
the show
Stranger came and pulled a gun
her the arm
Said, you do I tell you to, there
Won’t harm”
[Pre-Chorus]
said
[Chorus]
money, wallet
cards
Here’s the grandpa me
Here’s the key to car
Mister, give it a whirl
don’t the girl
[Verse 3]
Same old boy, sweet girl
Five years down the road
There’s a little one and she
“It’s time to go”
Doctor says, “The baby’s fine
But you’ll have to leave
‘Cause his momma’s fadin’ fast” and
hit his knees
[Pre-Chorus]
he prayed
[Chorus]
the very breath you me
the heart chest
I’ll gladly her place if you’ll me
Make last request
out world
don’t the girl
[Outro]
Johnny’s daddy was takin’ him fishin’
When he was eight years old
