The Good Book And A Good Hook

Daddy was no preacher
But he was righteous to the bone
He could quote the bible chapter and verse
In his deep rich baritone
And Daddy always joked 
The reason Jesus walked on water
Was to get a better view
Of how many fish he could have caught there

Daddy said all you needed was the good book and a good hook
And a lazy summer day
'Cause if you had the good book and a good hook
You'd find heaven either way

I grew up and moved away
And had three boys of my own
But I call Daddy every Sunday
Just to hear that baritone
And we'd talk about the kids
And we'd talk about the good Lord
And talk about fishing
And his new Evinrude outboard

(Repeat Chorus)

Mama called this evening
Choking back the tears to say
Son I'm sorry but Jesus took
Your Daddy home today
She said it was the darndest thing
They found him down by the lake
With a trophy trout next to his bible
And a big smile on his face

I smiled and pictured Daddy
Out there walking on the water
And talking to Jesus
About how many fish they could have caught there

(Repeat Chorus)

You just need the good book and a good hook
And a lazy summer day
'Cause if you had the good book and a good hook
You'd find heaven either way
