Johnny's daddy was takin' him fisin'
When he was eight years old ---
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled,
Said, "We can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go
Someday you'll change your mind."
And Johnny said,
Take Jimmy Johnson take Tommy Tompson
Take my best friend Bo.
Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go
Take any boy in the world -- Daddy, please
Don't take the girl
Same ol' boy, same sweet girl, ten years down the road
He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show.
