Pack an old cane pole across the shoulder through the woods
To the fishin hole I tried to keep up the best I could
He answered with love, All the questions of this little man
Daddy taught me about life in words I could understand
You gotta roll up your sleeves
Put your back into your work son
Always believe in the good Lord's way
You gotta hold your mouth right
When you're going for the big one
Once you get a line on love don't let it get away
Drivin my old car that he worked on after school
He's a football star and his daddy's a proud old fool
It's a brand new world full of girls and teenage dreams
And when he asked for my advice, the answer still the same
You gotta roll up your sleeves
Put your back into your work son
Always believe in the good Lord's way
You gotta hold your mouth right
When you're going for the big one
Once you get a line on love don't let it get away
Once you get a line on love don't let it get away
