Should Have Taken Him Fishing

Every morning I wake up Put on a brand new day Kiss my boy, grab my coat Drive these 18 wheels away With the words I miss you daddy That echo in my mind And I think of all the years I've left behind But its too late to turn this truck around And tell the boss I ain't leaving town Go home and grab a fishing pole or two Me and my boy in that old bench seat Wonder what he'll think of me Will he forgive the man this road turned me into Don't want to spend my whole life wishing I shoulda taken him fishing I pulled off the ramp I needed to stop He was tugging at my heart Opened up his homemade lunch That when I found his card There were two stickmen and a dinosaur Drawn in Crayola blue And then the words I miss the most "Dad I love you" Is it too late to turn this truck around Tell the boss I'm ain't leaving town Go home grab a fishing pole or two Me and my boy in that old bench seat I wonder what he'll think of me Will he forgive the man this road turned me into Don't want to spend my whole life wishing I shoulda taken him fishing We're gonna put a largemouth on the wall Before the years fly by Every time he sees it hanging there He'll always remember the time I turned that big ole truck around Told the boss I ain't leaving town Went home and grabbed a fishing pole or two Wonder what he thinks of me As we're sitting on the bank of that creek Don't wanna be the man this road turned me into Not gonna spend my whole life wishing Now I realize all that I'd been missing 'Cause I took him fishing I hope takes his own boy fishing
