Take the Boy Fishin'

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, man I was scared
Of that salty dog and the look in his eyes
That said, stay away from the love of my life
He climbed down off the boat he pulled me aside said

What you say we go fishing, just you and me
A whole lot can happen when you're out at sea
You might calm the deep water, make the sea roar
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 and started cutting some bait
Through the awkward silence and the howl of the wind
I heard, what'd you say your name was again
And when it comes to my daughter, just what do you intend

What you say we go fishing, just you and me
A whole lot can happen when you're out at sea
You might calm the deep water, make the sea roar
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
When those twin diesels roared I hopped on board
And lived to tell about it to this day

What you say we go fishing, just you and me
A whole lot can happen when you're out at sea
You might calm the deep water, make the sea roar
Ride back in the Captain's seat or swim back to shore
You say we go fishing, just you and me
A whole lot can happen when you're out at sea
You might calm the deep water, make the sea roar
Ride back in the Captain's seat or swim back to shore
