One more cast with you

(Verse 1)

Yeah…

I still see you in that old driveway

Hands rough, boots by the doorway

Talkin’ life while I rolled my eyes

Didn’t know those were the good ol’ times

You’d say, “Son, slow down, listen close”

I was too young, I thought I knew the most

Now I’d give anything just to hear

One more lesson ringin’ in my ear

⸻

(Verse 2 – Funny Memory)

Man I was twelve and wild as hell

Did dumb stuff I’ll never tell

But I remember one clear as day

Still makes me laugh in a twisted way

Walked up grinnin’, no real excuse

Just a knucklehead kid cuttin’ loose

Kicked you square where it hurts the most

Just to see if you’d jump or choke

Your face turned red, you hit the ground

I knew right then I’d crossed that line

You said, “Boy you done lost your mind?”

Yeah… I sure did that time

Didn’t laugh when I got that talk

Learned real quick ‘bout respect and thought

You were mad, but you didn’t quit

Still loved me through my dumb kid mess

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You didn’t have to love my ways

Didn’t have to stay those days

But you did, even when I was wrong

That’s what made you strong

⸻

(Chorus)

I wish we could’ve gone fishin’

Just one more cast in the wind

I know you’d be sittin’ right beside me

Even if the fish weren’t bitin’

I think about you every day

In every sunrise on that water blue

God, I’d trade it all in a heartbeat

Just to wet a line with you

⸻

(Bridge – Reflection)

Now I’d give anything to hear you yell

Even that “Boy what the hell?”

I’d take the trouble, take the pain

Just to see you stand again

Crazy how the small things stick

The laughs, the fights, the childhood tricks

Didn’t know those days would fade

Didn’t know memories are all we’d save
