Shortly after learnin' to walk
And barely able to talk
Dad had me hopin' and wishin'
He'd say let's roll let's go fishin'
Memories of my dad are never far
And fishin' with him a cherished memoir
When I visit those salty shores
I raise my hand to heaven's door
And cast my line for daddy once more
Sometimes we'd leave 'bout midnight
Drive to Galveston hopin' they'd bite
Fish all night under the stars
Catch the sunrise then grab some sleep in our car
Memories of my dad are never far
And fishin' with him a cherished memoir
When I visit those salty shores
I raise my hand to heaven's door
And cast my line for daddy once more
Thinkin' of you daddy
Those trips I've been missin'
Still hear those words
Let's go fishin'
I remember Rollover pass in 72
Catchin' those croaker thanks to you
Lots of hollerin' goin on
Bringin' 'em in at the break of dawn
Memories of my dad are never far
And fishin' with him a cherished memoir
When I visit those salty shores
I raise my hand to heaven's door
And cast my line for daddy once more
I still tie that same knot at the shore
You taught me to tie when I was four
I still raise my hand to heaven's door
And cast my line for daddy once more
