[Verse 1]
Dawson’s got his daddy’s strength,
But his mama’s fiery soul.
He wrestles life to the mat each day,
Never scared to lose control.
He’s got a tackle box and a restless heart,
Chasing fish and dreams, where do they start?
[Chorus]
Down by Dawson’s river, where the water runs free,
He casts his line and wonders, "What’s waiting for me?"
With a hook, a fight, and a spark in his eye,
He’s learning how to live, and not just get by.
[Verse 2]
The mat taught him balance, the rod taught him peace,
A mix of grit and grace that’ll never cease.
Mama says, "Boy, you’re stubborn like me,"
He just laughs, says, "That’s how I’m meant to be."
The fish don’t always bite, but he’s still reeling in,
Lessons of the water, patience within.
[Prechorus]
He’s got scars on his knees, and dreams in his head,
And a fire that burns where angels fear to tread.
[Chorus]
Down by Dawson’s river, where the water runs free,
He casts his line and wonders, "What’s waiting for me?"
With a hook, a fight, and a spark in his eye,
He’s learning how to live, and not just get by.
[Bridge]
Some days he feels like he’s wrestling the tide,
But the river whispers, "Boy, take it in stride."
Life’s not a match you can always win,
But the journey’s the prize, let it pull you in.
