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 🎣
