Backstory:
Just made it up. I didn't have a dad growing up, but I did see what dads did for their sons.
Lyrics:
(Verse)
Dad said I had to bait my own hook
He showed me how to hook a worm
And the first few times what it took
was a struggle with how they squirm
But I learned to do it right
I learned how to fish
If I had my way tonight
here’s what I’d wish
(Chorus)
I’d love to live those days again
and to have my father back
to see him with a big ‘ole grin
lookin out his sleepin bag
And cookin trout for breakfast
in the campfire right at dawn
We were building memories that last
what he taught me all along
(Verse)
There was smoke in the crispy mornin air
while the cracklin fire burnt on
I can still remember me right there
like the words to my fav’rite song
There’s no way I could forget
the happy look in his eyes
Yeah we watched the sun set
but he really loved the sunrise
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
I’m thankful to remember so many precious things
And I’m thankful for the feelings that those memories bring
(Chorus)
(End)
Yeah, what he taught me all along
