Lyrics

Son, you make me feel so proud
Pop the buttons right off my shirt
I know I promised to take you to the lake today
But I'm gonna have to break that promise
It really hurts
Every time I go fishing
It always starts me wishing
That I could be a child again
Take my fifty cents and go
Down to the local picture show
To watch my heroes rope and ride
Most times they'd win
But when they'd lose
It always made me cry
Ain't nothing quite as sad
As watching your heroes die
One by one
And as they fall
Soon there'll be no heroes at all
Well, I guess the fish just ain't biting
Just as well 'cause I don't feel like fighting
All in all, it just ain't that great a fishing day
That old newspaper headline
Kinda wrapped around this old heart of mine
Another big one got away
And I can't count the times he's made me laugh
But this time he's made me cry
And there ain't nothing quite as sad
As watching your heroes die
One by one
As they fall
Soon there'll be no heroes at all
