Fishin'

(album: Diamonds In A Whiskey Glass - 2021)

She was nine years old, I took her out on the boat
Broke out the tackle box and started to troll
One hit the line and she reeled it right in
Then she did it again and again
With an innocent grin she looked up at me asking
Dad, why they call it fishing
Not catching

I said sometimes you hook em
Sometimes you don't
Some days they almost jump in the boat
Some of them are keepers
Some you throw back
Baby girl, life is like that
You just gotta keep on casting and wishing
That's why they call it fishing

Ten years later she was out on her own
Came home from college with her heart broke
One pretty spring day we were out on the water
Just having a talk, father and daughter
And I said, do you remember back when you were asking
This is why they call it fishing
Not catching

I said sometimes you hook em
Sometimes you don't
Some days they almost jump in the boat
Some of them are keepers
Some you throw back
Baby girl, life is like that
You just gotta keep on casting and wishing
That's why they call it fishing

Now she's married, got a kid
Takes her fishing like I did
Now when she looks up at her asking
Momma, why they call it fishing and not catching

She said sometimes you hook em
Sometimes you don't
Some days they almost jump in the boat
Some are keepers
Some you throw back
Baby girl, life is like that
You just gotta keep on casting and wishing
Yeah, you just gotta keep on casting and wishing
And that's why they call it fishing
That's why they call it fishing
