(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
