Johnny's Daddy was
taking him fishing
He was eight years
old
Little girl came
through the front
gate
Holding a fishing
pole
His Dad looked down and
smiled, said
"We can't
leave her behind,
Son I know you
don't want her to
go,
but someday you'll
change your
mind"
And Johnny said,
"Take Jimmy
Johnson, take Tommy
Thompson,
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
Stranger came and
pulled a gun,
Grabbed her by the
arm
"If you do what I
tell you to,
There won't be any
harm"
And Johnny said,
"Take my money,
take my wallet,
take my credit
cards.
Here's the watch
that my Grandpa gave
me,
Here's the key to
my car.
Mister, give it a
whirl.
But please,
Don't take the
girl."
Same ol' boy,
same sweet
girl
Five years down the
road
There's gonna be a
little one and she
says
"It's time to
go."
Doctor says the
baby's fine,
But you'll have to
leave
Cause his Momma's
fading fast and
Johnny hit his knees
and there he
prayed,
"Take the very
breath you gave me.
Take the heart from my
chest.
I'll gladly take
her place if you let
me,
Make this my last
request.
Take me out of this
world.
God, please,
Don't take the
girl."
Johnny' s Daddy was
taking him fishing
When he was eight years
old.
