At the pond behind the double-wide
Is where my daddy raised me up
I don't think a day went by without whiskey in his cup
He had a tendency to take it out on me on the days he had it rough
But on the other ones, Lord it wasn't much, but to me it was enough
[Chorus]
We'd go fish
We don't talk
Except when our lines get crossed
But I don't care
'Cause the only love he showed
Was at a fishin' hole
With crickets and cane poles
[Verse 2]
Now I'm standin' in a church house
Where I've never been before
He never mustered up the courage to ever walk me through those doors
Now I'm standin' in a pulpit readin' my Dad's eulogy
Well, it's a shame there ain't much good to say
Except the times that meant most to me
[Chorus]
When we'd go fish
We don't talk
Except when our lines got crossed
But I don't care
'Cause the only love he showed
Was at a fishin' hole
With crickets and cane poles
[Bridge]
Now I'm grown with a boy of my own
I'm gonna raise him the right way
In a church pew on Sunday, after every Saturday
[Outro]
When we'd go fish
And we talk
We just laugh when our lines get crossed
And I'll make damn sure
He knows his daddy's love is more
Than just a fishin' hole
With crickets and cane poles
More than just a fishin' hole
With crickets and cane poles
[Verse 1] At the pond behind the double-wide Is where my daddy raised me up I don't think a day went by without whiskey in his cup He had a tendency to take it out on me on the days he had it rough But on the other ones, Lord it wasn't much, but to me it was enough [Chorus] We'd go fish We don't talk Except when our lines get crossed But I don't care 'Cause the only love he showed Was at a fishin' hole With crickets and cane poles [Verse 2] Now I'm standin' in a church house Where I've never been before He never mustered up the courage to ever walk me through those doors Now I'm standin' in a pulpit readin' my Dad's eulogy Well, it's a shame there ain't much good to say Except the times that meant most to me [Chorus] When we'd go fish We don't talk Except when our lines got crossed But I don't care 'Cause the only love he showed Was at a fishin' hole With crickets and cane poles [Bridge] Now I'm grown with a boy of my own I'm gonna raise him the right way In a church pew on Sunday, after every Saturday [Outro] When we'd go fish And we talk We just laugh when our lines get crossed And I'll make damn sure He knows his daddy's love is more Than just a fishin' hole With crickets and cane poles More than just a fishin' hole With crickets and cane poles Explain Request ×
