Fishin'

I was sittin' at work
Trying to dig thru the pile
Answering to some jerk
While attempting to smile
Couldn't take any more
When I got home
The honey-do list had been nailed to the door...

Daddy, can we go fishin'?
Drown a worm and throw a bobber in the lake
Maybe try to catch a turtle or a snake
Hey Daddy, come along with us, fishin'
Toes in the water while we're sittin' on a log
Eatin' cookies after playing with a frog
You never washed your hands, did you?

Golden days in the sun
An SPF barbecue
Run around and have fun
Listenin' to some tunes
Kick back, crack open a book
Hey, stop that
Don't gross your sister out when baitin' that hook

Daddy, can we go swimmin'?
Do a cannonball or dive in off the dock
Maybe feed the ducks or try to skip a rock
Hey Daddy, come along with us, swimmin'
Swingin' off a rope and flying through the air
He's under water but his suit is floatin' there
Dad, What does "Cowabunga!" mean?

Golden days in the sun
It was too good to be true
Run around and have fun
Vacation ended too soon
Oh how the time slipped away
I can't believe it
Then the kids ran up and I heard them say...

Pull up stakes and head home
Load the kids in the car
Trade the lake for your phone
I got a couple of bars
Settle in for the miles, when just then
Hey! How did that lizard get in the car?

But it's not about the fishin'
