Paw Paw's Boat

Well, I learned more on the creek, good Lord Than I ever did in classrooms, church or court The days were long and talks were short on Paw Paw's boat Well, granny sent a cooler packed full of snacks And we were on a mission just to bring her somethin' back 'Cause the braggin' rights went to whoever came home with more From Paw Paw's boat Out where the birds were the radio And tall oak trees where the moss hung low That's where we'd find our spot Where the bobbers hide and the day burns slow Out where the woods meets a riverbank I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made Guess I learned everything I've ever known On Paw Paw's boat Now, this old launch turned to memory lane Faded tackle box on the dock says our last name And I'd give anything for one more day in Paw Paw's boat I met a girl, and I fell in love She grew up on the creek, fishing just like us And today I'm knockin' a little bit of rust off her Paw Paw's boat Out where the birds were the radio And tall oak trees where the moss hung low That's where we'd find our spot Where the bobbers hide and the day burns slow Out where the woods meets a riverbank I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made Guess I learned everything I've ever known On Paw Paw's boat The man I am today, I owe to time spent on that lake Lord knows that I'd give anything to go back just for one more day Out where the birds were the radio And tall oak trees where the moss hung low That's where we'd find our spot Where the bobbers hide and the day burns slow Out where the woods meets a riverbank I learned how to fish and swim and thank God for what He made Guess I learned everything I've ever known On Paw Paw's boat
