Dockside Days

**(Verse 1)**

Sun creepin’ up, mist on the water,

Old tackle box and a thermos from mama.

Bare feet swingin’ off weathered wood planks,

He hands me a pole and fills up my tank.

**(Verse 2)**

Says, “Son, don’t rush—let the river run slow,

Some things in life, you just gotta let go.”

With every cast, he’s teachin’ me more,

Than a school ever could or a book in a drawer.

**(Chorus)**

Me and my dad, on that old pine dock,

Talkin’ 'bout life while the world just stops.

He’s tellin’ stories with a line in his hand,

Teachin’ me how to be a good man.

No fancy words, just the river and time—

Those dockside days, forever mine.

**(Verse 3)**

Skippin’ some stones, laughin’ like brothers,

Learnin’ how silence can say what it covers.

He said, “One day, you’ll bring your boy too,

And pass down the things that I gave to you.”

**(Bridge)**

Now he’s older, and I’m a dad,

My little boy’s got the same ball cap.

We sit in that spot, under the setting sun,

Talkin’ 'bout fishin’... but it’s more than just fun.

**(Chorus)**

Me and my boy, on that old pine dock,

Talkin’ 'bout life while the world just stops.

I’m tellin’ stories with a line in my hand,

Tryin’ to show him how to be a good man.

No fancy words, just the river and time—

These dockside days, now they’re *his* and mine.

**(Outro)**

Yeah, time rolls on like that river flows,

But love stays strong where the still water knows.

Me and my dad, now me and my son—

Dockside days... where hearts are won.
