[Verse 1] Sundown on Lake Ouachita And I was ten years old Watching a daddy teach his boy How to cast a fishing pole And I remember wishin' That I had what he had One chance to go fishin' With my Dad [Chorus] You sit out on the water You watch the bobber dance You talk about the facts of life And what it means to be a man It's hard doing anything With someone you don't have So how could I go fishing with my dad [Verse 2] Mama married a good man In the summer of ‘93 At first I wasn't too sure About what he thought of me Till' he woke me up one morning And I've never been so glad Coz I got to go fishin' With my dad [Chorus] We sat out on the water And watched the bobber dance We talked about the facts of life And what it means to be a man We didn't share a last name But we shared a lot of laughs And i got to go fishing with my dad [Verse 3] And I know what it means to me Lookin' back and every kid Ought to have days like that Where you sit out on the water And watch the bobber dance You talk about the facts of life And what it means to be a man Some of my best memories And part of who I am Cause I got to go fishing Without him I'd still be wishin' It's hard doing anything I got to go fishin' with my dad I got to go fishin' with my dad
