"Going Fishin'" lyrics

Load up the boat and head up the lake
Didn't get there fast enough
All week long I couldn't wait to be there
Five a.m. always came too late when I couldn't sleep the night before
Hit that water and I'd pray the day wouldn't end
He always seemed to catch more than I did
I wanted so bad to be like him

He could tell by the way it fights, what it is
I always wondered how he did that
And it never really mattered how much we caught, he'd say
Had a good day son, and we always did
Goin' fishin' when I was a kid
I learned about patience and how to be a man
Goin' fishin'

Now I've grown up and moved away
And the fishin' trips were harder to take
Now and then we still get a chance and go
Five a.m. still comes too late
When I can't sleep the night before
We hit that water and I thank God for the day
He still seems to catch more than I do
It seems I turned out a lot like him

So we can tell the way it fights, what it is
Through some livin', I have learned some
And still never really mattered how much we'd catch, he'd say
Had a good day son, and we always have
Goin' fishin' with my dad
I learned about patience and how to be a man

So we can tell by the way it fights, what it is
Through some livin', I learned some
And it still never matters how much we catch, he'd say
Had a good day son, and we always have
Goin' fishin' with my dad
I learned about patience and how to be a man
Goin' fishin'
Goin' fishin'
