Son, you make me feel so proud I pop the buttons right off my shirt I know I promised to take you to the lake today But Im going to have to break that promise and it really hurts Every time I go fishin, it always starts me wishin That I could be a child again Take my 50 cents and go down to the local picture show To watch my heroes rope and ride Most times theyd win but when theyd lose It always made me cry Aint nothing quite as sad As watching your heroes die One by one, and as they fall Soon therell be no heroes at all Well, I guess the fish just aint bitin Just as well, cause I dont feel like fightin All in all, it just aint that great a fishin day That old newspaper headline Kind of wrapped around this old heart of mine Another big one got away And I cant count the times hes made me laugh But this time, hes made me cry And there aint nothing quite as sad As watching your heroes die One by one as they fall Soon therell be no heroes at all
hero, fishin, theyd, therell, one
