D.B. Bonds - I Went Fishing With My Dad lyrics

I went fishing with my dad He showed me how to hook the bait He showed me how to cast the rod He never, ever mentioned God We were in a different state We stood there fishing side by side I made up stories; he just smiled and smiled We didn't catch a single fish Which was, I think, my father's wish I went fishing with my dad I went fishing with my dad The sun grew shorter, short still The few words we had spoken ceased As time kept on I lost my will To live Fatigue Increased Hey, Dad, too bad we caught no trout He said, "I hadn't noticed, son" You hadn't noticed, Dad, how come? He said, "Because I was having too much fun" Really, really, really, Dad Yes, we were having too much fun Really, really, really, Dad I was listening to you chatter And it really didn't matter What we caught and what we didn't 'Cause at least my kid is interested In what his old man has to say What a perfect way To spend a perfect Saturday Saturday Ooh woah woah woah Ooh Ooh I went fishing with my son I taught him how to hook the bait I taught him how to cut the slack He caught a trout, but threw it back And It Was Great
