[Verse 1]
D
At the pond behind the double-wide
G D
Is where my daddy raised me up
A D
I don't think a day went by without whiskey in his cup
He had a tendency to take it out on me on
G D
the days he had it rough
G A D
But on the other ones, it wasn't much, but to me it was enough
[Chorus]
G
We'd go fish
D
We don't talk
A D
Except when our lines get crossed
G
But I don't care
Bm G
'Cause the only love he showed
D
Was at a fishin' hole
A D
With crickets and cane poles
[Solo]
G D A D
[Verse 2]
D
Now I'm standin' in a church house
G D
Where I've never been before
A
He never mustered up the courage to ever walk me through those doors
D G
Now I'm standin' in a pulpit readin' my Dad's eulogy
D
Well, it's a shame there ain't much good to say
A D
Except the times that meant most to me
[Chorus]
G
We'd go fish
D
We don't talk
A D
Except when our lines get crossed
G
But I don't care
Bm G
'Cause the only love he showed
D
Was at a fishin' hole
A D
With crickets and cane poles
[Solo]
G D A D G D A D
[Bridge]
Bm
Now I'm grown with a boy of my own
A G#
I'm gonna raise him the right way
G A
In a church pew on Sunday, after every Saturday
[Chorus]
G
When we'd go fish
D
And we talk
A D
We just laugh when our lines get crossed
G
And I'll make damn sure
Bm A G
He knows his daddy's love is more
D
Than just a fishin' hole
A Bm A G
With crickets and cane poles
D
More than just a fishin' hole
A D
With crickets and cane poles
