Packed an old cane pole Crossed the shoulder through the woods To the fishing hole I tried to keep up the best I could He answered with love All the questions of his little man Daddy taught me about life In words I could understand
You gotta roll up your sleeves Put your back into your work son Always believe in the good Lord's way You gotta hold your mouth right When your going for the big one Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away
Driving my old car That we worked on after school He's a football star And his daddy's a proud old fool It's a brand new world Full of girls and teenage dreams When he asks for my advice The answer's still the same
You gotta roll up your sleeves Put your back into your work son Always believe in the good Lord's way You gotta hold your mouth right When your going for the big one Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away Once you get a line on love Don't let it get away
