Double digit birthday

Verse 1

Sun coming up on a glass calm lake

Monster in the cooler, rods on the tailgate

Dad said, “Son it’s your day today”

Brother laughed and said, “Let’s make ‘em pay”

Boat hit the water, engine humming low

Morning mist rolling slow

First cast flying through the air

And that topwater blowup came outta nowhere

⸻

Chorus

Double digits on my birthday 🎣

Big bass bending every rod we raise

Dad yelling loud, brother shaking the net

Best day fishing I’ll never forget

Sun on the water, blue sky day

Largemouth dancing in the wake

If heaven’s got a fishing bay

It’ll feel like this birthday

⸻

Verse 2

Monster cans sweating in the morning sun ⚡

Dad said “Boys this is getting fun”

Spinnerbait flashing in the morning light

That drag started screaming tight

Dad hooked one that looked like a log

Brother yelled “That’s a ten, dear Lord”

High fives flying in the boat all day

Just three grown men and a lake to play

⸻

Chorus

Double digits on my birthday

Big bass bending every rod we raise

Dad yelling loud, brother shaking the net

Best day fishing I’ll never forget

Sun on the water, blue sky day

Largemouth dancing in the wake

If heaven’s got a fishing bay

It’ll feel like this birthday

⸻

Bridge

Years roll by but memories stay

Like ripples rolling on the lake that day

Not about the fish we weighed

It’s the time with them that never fades

⸻

Final Chorus

Double digits on my birthday

Big bass biting every cast we made

Three rods leaning on the rail

And a story every time we tell

Sun going down on the lake today

Thanking God for days this way

If heaven’s got a fishing bay

I’ll spend my birthday there someday 🎣
