14 years ago I was working in radio when my dad called and wanted to go fishing. He was heading to the doctors to get his release for a surgery coming up. I told him that we can go next week as I was really busy. About 3 hours later I got a call that EMS was working on my dad.
People tell me that I remind them of you. They say I am just like you. some sons may not want to be like their dads, but not me. I am honored to be like you. Even the jokes. And those that know or have been fishing with dad (AKA Capt. Frank) you may recall 5, 6, 4, 7, 3, 3, 2, 4, 5, 3, 4, as you would go in circles.
I love you and miss you dad, and I hope you are looking down and approve of what you see in me.
To this day this is something I regret. Sometimes your work ethics need to rest as well. Take time out for your family, before you can't!
You can tell your old man
You'll do some largemouth fishing another time
You just got too much on your plate to bait and cast a line
You can always put a rain check in his hand
'Til you can't
You can keep putting off forever with that girl who's heart you hold
Swearing that you'll ask some day further down the road
You can always put a diamond on her hand
'Til you can't
If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
'Til you can't
There's a box of greasy parts sitting in the trunk of that '65
Still waiting on you and your granddad to bring it back to life
You can always get around to fixing up that Pontiac
'Til you can't
If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
'Til you can't
So take that phone call from your momma and just talk away
'Cause you'll never know how bad you wanna 'til you can't someday
Don't wait on tomorrow 'cause tomorrow may not show
Say your sorries, your I-love-yous, 'cause man you never know
If you got a chance, take it, take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
'Til you can't
Yeah, if you got a chance, take it (take it), take it while you got a chance
If you got a dream, chase it, 'cause a dream won't chase you back
If you're gonna love somebody
Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can
Until you can't
'Til you can't
Yeah, take it
