[Verse 1]
Sundown on Lake Ouachita
And I was ten years old
Watching a daddy teach his boy
How to cast a fishing pole
And I remember wishin'
That I had what he had
One chance to go fishin'
With my Dad
[Chorus]
You sit out on the water
You watch the bobber dance
You talk about the facts of life
And what it means to be a man
It's hard doing anything
With someone you don't have
So how could I go fishing with my dad
[Verse 2]
Mama married a good man
In the summer of ‘93
At first I wasn't too sure
About what he thought of me
Till' he woke me up one morning
And I've never been so glad
Coz I got to go fishin'
With my dad
[Chorus]
We sat out on the water
And watched the bobber dance
We talked about the facts of life
And what it means to be a man
We didn't share a last name
But we shared a lot of laughs
And i got to go fishing with my dad
[Verse 3]
And I know what it means to me
Lookin' back and every kid
Ought to have days like that
Where you sit out on the water
And watch the bobber dance
You talk about the facts of life
And what it means to be a man
Some of my best memories
And part of who I am
Cause I got to go fishing
Without him I'd still be wishin'
It's hard doing anything
I got to go fishin' with my dad
I got to go fishin' with my dad
