I found this song and immediately I had tears in my eyes before I even got to the chorus.
If you've ever been fishing with your dad you know it's so much more than catching and releasing. It's special time you get to spend together filled with long talks and inside jokes mom doesn't know about.
It reminded me SO much of spending time at the lake "just fishin'" with my dad. It also made me a little sad. Even though my fishing rod is still pink, I'm scared those moments are going to be few and far between now. But then I remember how incredibly lucky I am to have even had a dad who has given me those memories.
So I want to dedicate this blog post to my dad and every other dad who puts up with their little girl who is doing everything BUT fishing. I squirmed, talked too loud and asked too many questions, but he was always patient with me.
Love you, dad.
If you've ever had a fishing trip with your dad, give this song a listen. I've also put the lyrics at the bottom.
She’s doin’ almost everything but sittin’ still
Talkin’ ‘bout her ballet shoes and training wheels
And her kittens
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
I say, “Daddy loves you, baby” one more time
She says, “I know. I think I got a bite.”
And all this laughin’, cryin, smilin’ dyin’ here inside’s
What I call, livin’
And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
She’s already pretty, like her mama is
Gonna drive the boys all crazy
Give her daddy fits
And I better do this every chance I get
‘Cause time is tickin’
(Yeah it is)
And she thinks we’re just fishin’ on the riverside
Throwin’ back what we could fry
Drownin’ worms and killin’ time
Nothin’ too ambitious
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
She ain’t even thinkin’ ‘bout
What’s really goin’ on right now
But I guarantee this memory’s a big’in
And she thinks we’re just fishin’
Yeah, aww, she thinks we’re just fishin’
We ain’t only fishin’
(This ain’t about fishin’)
