The Uncle Bill Roach Band - I Miss Fishin' With My Dad lyrics

rate me

Words and Music by Mike Slagle

It's 3 a.m. I'm caffeined up I'm drivin' to my Dad's

We'd hook up that ol' Skeeter boat the only one we ever had

And we'd buy us a bunch of minnows tryin' to beat the sun

Just a couple of fishin' fools out to have some fun

There was cheese and crackers and Spam for lunch and a can of pork and beans

He'd spread it out there on the ice chest and we'd have ourselves a feast

Then we'd get right back to fishin' just as soon as we can

Cause we both knew the end would come so get it while you can

(Chorus)

I miss fishin' with my Dad. It was the best time I ever had

And if I go to Heaven if the Lord forgives my sins

I'll get to go fishin' with my ol' man again

You know I was mighty lucky to have that Dad of mine

And I reckon we went fishin' more than a thousand times

He'd want me to catch a mess o' fish instead of justa wishin'

And I ain't been since he passed away so tomorrow I'm goin' fishin'

Chorus:
