Late last night, I made up my mind
Set my alarm for 5.05
Coleman full of coffee, rods in the truck
Time to knock off a little tackle box dust
Thirty minute drive, and walk down a hill
To a little piece of water where the world stands still

And I still get hung up on that oak tree
Throw that Texas rig you showed me
Learned a lot about life
Wetting a line on a muddy riverbank with you
We'd talk pickup trucks to Jesus
Through Redman and Bocephus
You always knew how to listen and just what to say
And that's what brought me out here today
Instead of standing at your stone, I'm sittin' on your rock
Catching up with you at your fishin' spot

Well, I know there's better places
And I got a nice boat at the house
But floating out there, filling up a live well
Ain't what today's about
I can still hear you laughing now

When I get hung up on that oak tree
Throw that Texas rig you showed me
Learned a lot about life
Wetting a line on a muddy riverbank with you
We'd talk pickup trucks to Jesus
Through Redman and Bocephus
You always knew how to listen and just what to say
And that's what brought me out here today
Instead of standing at your stone, I'm sittin' on your rock
Catching up with you at your fishin' spot

They say, there ain't a bad day fishing
Yeah, and I wish that was true
The only bite I've had, I missed it
But there's nothing like missing you

And I get hung up on that oak tree
Throw that Texas rig you showed me
Learned a lot about life
Wetting a line on a muddy riverbank with you
Talkin' pickup trucks to Jesus
Through Redman and Bocephus
You always knew how to listen and just what to say
And that's what brought me out here today
Instead of standing at your stone, I'm sittin' on your rock
Catching up with you at your fishin' spot
