Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Johnny's daddy is takin' him fishin'
When he was eight years old
A little girl came through the front gate
Holdin' a fishin' pole
His dad looked down and smiled, said,
"We can't leave her behind
Son I know you don't want her to go
Some day you will 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 old 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
Said, Do what I tell you to do
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 old boy
Same sweet girl
Five years down the road
There's gonna be a little one and she,
Say's it's time to go
Doctor says, the baby's fine
But you'll have to leave
'Cause his Mama's fading fast
And Johnny hit his knees

And then he prayed,
Take the very breath you gave me
Take the heart from my chest,
I'll gladly take her place
If you'll let me make this my last request
Take me out of this world
God please
Don't take the girl

Johnny's daddy was takin' him fishin
when he was eight years old.
