So I was supposed to do a fishing song last week for father's day where I play sometimes, but I didn't know any, and I just couldn't find one that would fit my style, so I decided to write this one. I didn't sing it though, it's too slow and depressing (surprise!) haha. But here is a rough version of it, I'm working on a more finished version now.

This is just a story, my Dad did take out to the Old Lock to fish when I was little, but I kind of hated it, because I had to be quiet and still for 3 hours sitting in a boat.. and my Dad died when I was a teenager so we never went out there later in life.. he was a cool guy, he actually built fishing boats, they weren't anything fancy but it was really amazing to me that he could do that in his little shed in the back yard.. 

Getting up at 4a m before the birds are singing
Rise and shine to the smell of the coffee percolating
Load up the truck put the gear in the boat we’ll spend the day out fishing 
What a way to spend a saturday, out on the river 
And the coffeeville road is dark and long but we know which way to go
we’ve been this way a million times to our favorite fishing hole…
The old lock and dam on the Tombigbee river..

 Take me down to the river one more time
 
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the wind blow through the trees 
The way it used to b  
 
The river is life, the river is love, but the river is tough sometimes
But the river is hope, t r is dreams , as  it runs through my life
it’s full of the memories of my dad and me together
And it feels like it goes on and on, but nothing lasts forever

 And the Coffeeville road don’t seem as long as it did those years ago
And were going one more time to our favorite fishing hole..

Take me down to the river one more time
You can put your feet in the water to ease your troubled mind
Let’s go while there’s still time, while the light still shines
And we can feel the breeze, and watch the shadows through the trees
My Dad and me…
